Never marry but for love; but see that thou lov'st what is lovely.

Love is the hardest lesson in Christianity; but, for that reason, it should be most our care to learn it.

Choose a friend as thou dost a wife, till death separate you.

The humble, meek, merciful, and just are everywhere of one religion; and when death has taken off the mask they will know one another, though the diverse liveries they wear here make them strangers.

Neither despise nor oppose what thou dost not understand.

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.

Love grows. Lust wastes by Enjoyment, and the Reason is, that one springs from an Union of Souls, and the other from an Union of Sense.
