Poor humanity!--so dependent, so insignificant, and yet so great.

We are rich only through what we give.

Happiness and Virtue clasp hands and walk together.

He who has never denied himself for the sake of giving has but glanced at the joys of charity.

Indulgence is lovely in the sinless; toleration, adorable in the pious and believing heart.

Miracles are God's coups d'etat.
