Faith is the root of all good works. A root that produces nothing is dead. - [Faith] We are surrounded by motives to piety and devotion, if we would but mind them. The poor are designed to excite our liberality; the miserable, our pity; the sick, our assistance; the ignorant, our instruction; those that are fallen, our helping hand. In those who are vain, we see the vanity of the world; in those who are wicked, our own frailty. When we see good men rewarded, it confirms our hope; and when evil men are punished, it excites our fear. - [Piety] When a man resists sin on human motive only, he will not hold out long. - [Temptation]
