Not The Least Misfortune In A Prominent

O Sin, How You Paint Your Face! How You Flatter Us Poor Mortals On To Death! You Never Appear To The Sinner In Your True Character; You Make Fair Promises, But You Never Fulfil One; Your Tongue Is Smoother Than Oil, But The Poison Of Asps Is Under Your Lip!

Few Things In This World More Trouble People Than Poverty, Or The Fear Of Poverty; And, Indeed, It Is A Sore Affliction; But, Like All Other Ills That Flesh Is Heir To, It Has Its Antidote, Its Reliable Remedy. The Judicious Application Of Industry, Prudence And Temperance Is A Certain Cure.

Prosperity Is Very Liable To Bring Pride Among The Other Goods With Which It Endows An Individual; It Is Then That Prosperity Costs Too Dear.

There Is No Better Rule To Try A Doctrine By Than The Question, Is It Merciful, Or Is It Unmerciful? If Its Character Is That Of Mercy, It Has The Image Of Jesus, Who Is The Way, The Truth, And The Life.
