Oh! How Seldom The Soul Is Silent,

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.

The Blood Of A Nation Ought Never To Be Shed Except For Its Own Preservation In The Utmost Extremity.

How Different The Peace Of God From That Of The World! It Calms The Passions, Preserves The Purity Of The Conscience, Is Inseparable From Righteousness, Unites Us To God And Strengthens Us Against Temptations. The Peace Of The Soul Consists In An Absolute Resignation To The Will Of God.

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.

All Earthly Delights Are Sweeter In Expectation Than In Enjoyment; But All Spiritual Pleasures More In Fruition Than In Expectation.
