Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.

Show is not substance; realities govern wise men.

We are too apt to love praise, but not to deserve it.

In the rush and noise of life, as you have intervals, step home within yourselves and be still. Wait upon God, and feel His good presence; this will carry you evenly through your day's business.

We are too careless of posterity; not considering that as they are, so the next generation will be.

It would be far better to be of no church than to be bitter of any.

All excess is ill; but drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men. It reveals secrets, is quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous, and mad.
