Virtue Is The Truest Liberty.

Human Life Has Not A Surer Friend, Nor Oftentimes A Greater Enemy, Than Hope. It Is The Miserable Man's God, Which In The Hardest Gripe Of Calamity Never Fails To Yield To Him Beams Of Comfort. It Is The Presumptuous Man's Devil, Which Leads Him A While In A Smooth Way, And Then Suddenly Breaks His Neck.

The Greatest Results In Life Are Usually Attained By Simple Means And The Exercise Of Ordinary Qualities. These May For The Most Part Be Summed Up In These Two - Common Sense And Perseverance.

Meditation Is The Soul's Perspective Glass, Whereby, In Her Long Remove, She Discerneth God, As If He Were Nearer At Hand.

There Is No Belittling Worse Than To Over Praise A Man.

Take Heed Of A Speedy Professing Friend; Love Is Never Lasting Which Flames Before It Burns.
