Love is a great thing...which alone maketh every burden light.. Love is watchful, and while sleeping, still keeps watch; though fatigued, it is not weary; though pressed, it is not forced. Love is sincere, gentle, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, and manly. Love is humble and upright, not weak, not fickle, nor intent on vain things; sober chaste, steadfast, quiet, and guarded in all the senses.

I have sought for happiness everywhere, but I have found it nowhere except in a little corner with a little book.

What thou art, that thou art; that God knoweth thee to be and thou canst be said to be no greater.

He does much who loves God much, and he does much who does his deed well.

I have often heard, that it is safer to hear and to take counsel, than to give it.

By two wings a man is lifted up from things earthly: by simplicity and purity.

It is much safer to obey than to rule.
