If, instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.
      - [Love]

It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when to-morrow's burden is added to the burden of to-day that the weight is more than a man can bear.
      - [Anticipation]

It is a happy thing for us that this is really all we have to concern ourselves about--what to do next. No man can do the second thing. He can do the first.

      - [Self-reliance]

Joy cannot unfold the deepest truths. Cometh white-robed Sorrow, stooping and wan, and flingeth wide the door she must not enter.
      - [Sorrow]

Life and religion are one, or neither is anything.
      - [Life]

Many a thief is a better man than many a clergyman, and miles nearer to the gate of the kingdom.
      - [Clergy]

Mind, it is our best work that He wants, not the dregs of our exhaustion. I think He must prefer quality to quantity.
      - [Work]

Moderation is the basis of justice.
      - [Justice]

No indulgence of passion destroys the spiritual nature so much as respectable selfishness.
      - [Selfishness]

No man can make haste to be rich without going against the will of God, in which case it is the one frightful thing to be successful.

      - [Faults]

Religion is life essential.
      - [Religion]

Such a man will omit neither family worship, nor a sneer at his neighbor. He will neither milk his cows on the first day of the week without a Sabbath mask on his face, nor remove it while he waters the milk for his customers.
      - [Hypocrisy]

The best preparation for the future is the present well seen to, the last duty done.
      - [Future]

The direct foe of courage is the fear itself, not the object of it; and the man who can overcome his own terror is a hero, and more.
      - [Fear]
