For nothing reaches the heart but what is from the heart, or pierces the conscience but what comes from a living conscience

Sense shines with a double luster when it is set in humility. An able yet humble man is a jewel worth a kingdom.

Religion is the fear of God, and its demonstration good works; and faith is the root of both: For without faith we cannot please God; nor can we fear what we do not believe.

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.

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.

It is safer to learn than teach; and who conceals his opinion has nothing to answer for.

If thou wouldn't conquer thy weakness thou must not gratify it.
