I Know No Religion That Destroys Courtesy,

Make Few Resolutions, But Keep Them Strictly

Avoid Popularity; It Has Many Snares, And No Real Benefit.

Less Judgment Than Wit Is More Sail Than Ballast.

Disappointments That Aren't A Result Of Our Own Foolishness Are A Testing Of Our Faith Or A Correction From Heaven, And It Is Our Own Fault If These Disappointments Don't Work For Our Own Good.

To Have Religion Upon Authority, And Not Upon Conviction, Is Like A Finger-watch, To Be Set Forwards Or Backwards, As He Pleases That Has It In Keeping.
