I know no religion that destroys courtesy, civility, and kindness.

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.

Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.

There is nothing of which we are apt to be so lavish as of time, and about which we ought to be more solicitous; since without it we can do nothing in this world.

Do good with what thou hast, or it will do thee no good.

Though our Savior's passion is over, his compassion is not.

Avoid flatterers, for they are thieves in disguise.
