Good Taste Rejects Excessive Nicety.

We May Be Sure That It Is The Love Of God Only That Can Make Us Come Out Of Self. If His Powerful Hand Did Not Sustain Us, We Should Not Know How To Take The First Step In That Direction.

Avoid All Refined Speculations; Confine Yourself To Simple Reflections, And Recur To Them Frequently. Those Who Pass Too Rapidly From One Truth To Another Feed Their Curiosity And Restlessness; They Even Distract Their Intellect With Too Great A Multiplicity Of Views. Give Every Truth Time To Send Down Deep Root Into The Heart.

Nothing Marks So Much The Solid Advancement Of A Soul, As The View Of One's Wretchedness Without Anxiety And Without Discouragement.

Nothing Will Make Us So Charitable And Tender To The Faults Of Others, As, By Self-examination, Thoroughly To Know Our Own.

The Greatest Defect Of Common Education Is, That We Are In The Habit Of Putting Pleasure All On One Side, And Weariness On The Other; All Weariness In Study, All Pleasure In Idleness.
