A careless and blasphemous use of the name of the Divine Being is not only sinful, but it is also prima facie evidence of vulgar associations. - [Oaths] A mother's love, in a degree, sanctifies the most worthless offspring. - [Children] A single bad habit will mar an otherwise faultless character, as an ink-drop soileth the pure white page. - [Habit] A true religious instinct never deprived man of one single joy; mournful faces and a sombre aspect are the conventional affectations of the weak-minded. - [Religion] A wise Providence consoles our present afflictions by joys borrowed from the future. - [Hope] Annihilation, as regards matter, is simply impossible. - [Annihilation] As the sun's rays will irradiate even the murky pool, and make its stagnant waters to shine like silver, so doth God's goodness and tender mercy, towards the greatest sinner, and the blackest heart, make his own image visible there! - [Mercy] Be more careful of your conscience than of your estate. The latter can be bought and sold; the former never. - [Conscience] Between the humble and contrite heart and the majesty of Heaven there are no barriers. The only password is prayer. - [Prayer] Brevity and conciseness are the parents of correction. - [Brevity] Death comes to us, under many conditions, with all the welcome serenity of sleep. - [Death] Disease is the retribution of outraged Nature. - [Disease] Duty itself is supreme delight when love is the inducement and labor.

The judicious application of industry, prudence and temperance is a certain cure. - [Poverty] Folly is like the growth of weeds, always luxurious and spontaneous; wisdom, like flowers, requires cultivation. - [Folly] Gratitude is the fairest blossom which-springs from the soul; and the heart of man knoweth none more fragrant. - [Gratitude] Has not God borne with you these many years? Be ye tolerant to others. - [Toleration] Honest and courageous people have very little to say about either their courage or their honesty. The sun has no need to boast of his brightness, nor the moon of her effulgence. - [Honesty] Displaying page 1 of 4 for this author: Next >> [1] 2 3 4
