We do not ignore maturity. Maturity consists in not losing the past while fully living in the present with a prudent awareness of the possibilities of the future.

As nothing is more easy than to think, so nothing is more difficult than to think well.

Your enjoyment of the world is never right, till every morning you awake in Heaven: see yourself in your Father's palace; and look upon the skies, the earth, and the air as celestial joys: having such a reverend esteem of all, as if you were among the angels.

Principles are like a seed in the ground; they must continually be visited with heavenly influences or else your life will be a barren field.

You are as prone to love as the sun is to shine; it being the most delightful and natural employment of the soul of humans.

You never know yourself till you know more than your body.

We love we know not what, and therefore everything allures us.
