A man of peace does more good than a very learned man.

We are sometimes stirred by emotion and take it for zeal.

Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.

O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth.

The enemy is more easily overcome if he be not suffered to enter the door of our hearts, but be resisted without the gate at his first knock.

If we live in peace ourselves, we in turn may bring peace to others. A peaceable man does more good than a learned one.

Be assured that if you knew all, you would pardon all.
