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

Let those parents that desire Holy Children learn to make them possessors of Heaven and Earth betimes; to remove silly objects from before them, to magnify nothing but what is great indeed, and to talk of God to them, and of His works and ways. before they can either speak or go.

Is it not strange, that an infant should be heir of the whole world, and see those mysteries which the books of the learned never unfold?

The world is a mirror of infinite beauty, yet no man sees it.

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

Is it not easy to conceive the World in your Mind? To think the Heavens fair? The Sun Glorious? The Earth fruitful? The Air Pleasant? The Sea Profitable? And the Giver bountiful? Yet these are the things which it is difficult to retain. For could we always be sensible of their use and value, we should be always delighted with their wealth and glory.

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.
