No people can be truly happy... if abridged of the freedom of their consciences
Rarely promise, but, if lawful, constantly perform.
Do good with what thou hast, or it will do thee no good.
Inquiry is human; blind obedience brutal. Truth never loses by the one but often suffers by the other.
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.
Nothing but a good life can fit men for a better one hereafter.
