Our Piety Must Be Weak And Imperfect

Worry Is The Cross Which We Make For Ourselves By Over Anxiety.

Wine Is The Source Of The Greatest Evils Among Communities. It Causes Diseases, Quarrels, Seditions, Idleness, Aversion To Labor, And Family Disorders. . . . It Is A Species Of Poison That Causes Madness. It Does Not Make A Man Die, But It Degrades Him Into A Brute. Men May Preserve Their Health And Vigor Without Wine; With Wine They Run The Risk Of Ruining Their Health And Losing Their Morals.

That Love Of Self, Which The World Advocates, Is A Thousand Times More Dangerous Than Any Poison.

The Great Point Is To Renounce Your Own Wisdom By Simplicity Of Walk, And To Be Ready To Give Up The Favor, Esteem, And Approbation Of Every One, Whenever The Path In Which God Leads You Passes That Way.

The History Of The World Suggests That Without Love Of God There Is Little Likelihood Of A Love For Man That Does Not Become Corrupt.
