When I pray, coincidences happen, and when I don't, they don't.

The first glass is for myself, the second for my friends, the third for good humor, and the forth for my enemies.

The first ingredient in conversation is truth, the next good sense, the third good humor, and the fourth wit.

To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God.

If your prayer is selfish, the answer will be something that will rebuke your selfishness. You may not recognize it as having come at all, but it is sure to be there.

People that trust wholly to other's charity, and without industry of their own, will always be poor.

The greatest medicine is a true friend.
