Nothing but a good life can fit men for a better one hereafter.

We are too careless of posterity; not considering that as they are, so the next generation will be.

If thou wouldst conquer thy weakness, thou must never gratify it. No man is compelled to evil: his consent only makes it his. It is no sin to be tempted, but to be overcome.

He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.

The unspoken word never defeats one. What one does not say does not have to be explained.

If a civil word or two will render a man happy, he must be a wretch indeed who will not tell them to him.

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.
