Before receiving your instruction, I must tell you what happened to me one day. I had just had a closet built at the end of my garden. I heard a mole arguing with a cockchafer; 'Here's a fine structure,' said the mole, 'it must have been a very powerful mole who did this work.' 'You're joking,' said the cockchafer; 'it's a cockchafer full of genius who is the architect of this building.' From that moment I resolved never to argue.

The mouth obeys poorly when the heart murmurs.

Persistence with patience and prayer pays with profits, prosperity and peace of mind.

If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.

We never live; we are always in the expectation of living.

Shun idleness. It is rust that attaches itself to the most brilliant metals.

There is only one morality, as there is only one geometry.
