Wisdom Prepares For The Worst, But Folly

The Christian Will Find His Parentheses For Prayer Even In The Busiest Hours Of Life.

When A Founder Has Cast A Bell He Does Not Presently Fix It In The Steeple, But Tries It With His Hammer, And Beats It On Every Side To See If There Be Any Flaw In It.

It Is Much Easier To Settle A Point Than To Act On It.

Every Man Is An Original And Solitary Character. None Can Either Understand Or Feel The Book Of His Own Life Like Himself.
