We never do evil so thoroughly and heartily as when led to it by an honest but perverted, because mistaken, conscience.

Preventives of evil are far better than remedies; cheaper and easier of application, and surer in result.

Whatever our place allotted to us by Providence that for us is the post of honor and duty. God estimates us, not by the position we are in, but by the way in which we fill it.

He that is possessed with a prejudice is possessed with a devil.

A holy life is not an ascetic, or gloomy or solitary life, but a life regulated by divine truth and faithful in Christian duty. It is living above the world while we are still in it.

To rejoice in another's prosperity is to give content to your lot; to mitigate another's grief is to alleviate or dispel your own

If you would thoroughly know anything, teach it to others.
