It is profitable wisdom to know when we have done enough: Much time and pains are spared in not flattering ourselves against probabilities.

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.

It would go a long way to caution and direct people in their use of the world that they would better studied and known in the creation of it. For how could man find the confidence to abuse it, while they should see the Great Creator stare them in the face, in all and every part thereof?

Did we believe a final Reckoning and Judgment; or did we think enough of what we do believe, we would allow more Love in Religion than we do; since Religion it self is nothing else but Love to God and Man. Love is indeed Heaven upon Earth; since Heaven above would not be Heaven without it: For where there is not Love; there is Fear: But perfect Love casts out Fear. Love is above all; and when it prevails in us all, we shall all be Lovely, and in Love with God and one with another.

We are apt to love praise, but not deserve it. But if we would deserve it, we must love virtue more than that.

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

Force may subdue, but love gains, and he that forgives first wins the laurel.
