Passion is a sort of fever in the mind, which ever leaves us weaker than it found us.
Force may subdue, but love gains, and he that forgives first wins the laurel.
Religion is nothing else but love of God and man.
Perfect love casteth out fear.
Frugality is good if liberality be joined with it. The first is leaving off superfluous expenses; the last is bestowing them to the benefit of others that need. The first without the last begets covetousness; the last without the first begets prodigality.
He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.
