 God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love. |
| A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men. |
| Pain adds rest unto pleasure, and teaches the luxury of health. |
| He who does not tire, tires adversity. |
| Ridicule is a weak weapon when pointed at a strong mind; but common people are cowards and dread an empty laugh. |
| A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever. |
| Memory is not wisdom; idiots can by rote repeat volumes. Yet what is wisdom without memory? |
| Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence. |
| Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech. |
| If thou art master to thyself, circumstances shall harm thee little. |
