Real Inward Devotion Knows No Prayer But

The More A Man Acts On His Own, The More He Develops Himself. In Large Associations He Is Too Prone To Become Merely An Instrument.

It Is Continued Temperance Which Sustains The Body For The Longest Period Of Time, And Which Most Surely Preserves It Free From Sickness.

In The Moral World There Is Nothing Impossible If We Can Bring A Thorough Will To It. Man Can Do Everything With Himself, But He Must Not Attempt To Do Too Much With Others.

Man Is Naturally More Disposed To Beneficent Than Selfish Actions. This We Learn Even From The History Of Savages. The Domestic Virtues Have Something In Them So Inviting And Genial, And The Public Virtues Of The Citizen Something So Grand And Inspiring, That Even He Who Is Barely Uncorrupted, Is Seldom Able To Resist Their Charm.

However Great An Evil Immorality May Be, We Must Not Forget That It Is Not Without Its Beneficial Consequences. It Is Only Through Extremes That Men Can Arrive At The Middle Path Of Wisdom And Virtue.
