We Are Not To Choose The Manner

Wine Is The Source Of The Greatest Evils Among Communities. It Causes Diseases, Quarrels, Seditions, Idleness, Aversion To Labor, And Family Disorders. . . . It Is A Species Of Poison That Causes Madness. It Does Not Make A Man Die, But It Degrades Him Into A Brute. Men May Preserve Their Health And Vigor Without Wine; With Wine They Run The Risk Of Ruining Their Health And Losing Their Morals.

Simplicity Is That Grace Which Frees The Soul From All Unnecessary Reflections Upon Itself.

Violent Excitement Exhausts The Mind And Leaves It Withered And Sterile.

I Believe That We Are Conforming To The Divine Order And The Will Of Providence When We Are Doing Even Indifferent Things That Belong To Our Condition.

You Really Don't Even Own The Present Moment, For Even This Belongs To God.
