Sense Shines With Double Lustre When Set

It Is Safer To Learn Than Teach; And Who Conceals His Opinion Has Nothing To Answer For.

The Usefulest Truths Are The Plainest.

That Which The People Called Quakers Lay Down As A Main Fundamental In Religion Is This- That God, Through Christ, Hath Placed A Principle In Every Man, To Inform Him Of His Duty, And To Enable Him To Do It; And That Those That Live Up To This Principle Are The People Of God, And Those That Live In Disobedience To It, Are Not God's People, Whatever Name They May Bear, Or Profession They May Make Of Religion. This Is Their Ancient, First, And Standing Testimony: With This They Began, And This They Bore, And Do Bear To The World.

If Thou Wouldst Conquer Thy Weakness, Thou Must Never Gratify It. No Man Is Compelled To Evil: His Consent Only Makes It His. It Is No Sin To Be Tempted, But To Be Overcome.

Nor Yet Be Overeager In Pursuit Of Any Thing; For The Mercurial Too Often Happen To Leave Judgment Behind Them, And Sometimes Make Work For Repentance.
