 He that does a base thing in zeal for his friend burns the golden thread that ties their hearts together |
| He that is proud of riches is a fool. For if he is exalted above his neighbors because he has more gold, how much inferior is he to a gold mine. |
| He that loves not his wife and children feeds a lioness at home, and broods a nest of sorrows. |
| He that speaketh against his own reason speaks against his own conscience, and therefore it is certain that no man serves God with a good conscience who serves him against his reason. |
| If anger proceeds from a great cause, it turns to fury; if from a small cause, it is peevishness; and so is always either terrible or ridiculous. |
| It is impossible to make people understand their ignorance, for it requires knowledge to perceive it; and, therefore, he that can perceive it hath it not. |
| Know that you are your greatest enemy, but also your greatest friend. |
| Love is friendship set on fire |
| Marriage is the mother of the world. It preserves kingdoms, and fills cities and churches, and heaven itself. |
| Meditation is the tongue of the soul and the language of our spirit |
| Men are apt to prefer a prosperous error to an afflicted truth |
| No man can tell but he that loves his children, how many delicious accents make a man's heart dance in the pretty conversation of those dear pledges; their childishness, their stammering, their little angers, their innocence, their imperfections, their necessities, are so many little emanations of joy and comfort to him that delights in their persons and society. |
| No man is poor who does not think himself so. But if in a full fortune with impatience he desires more, he proclaims his wants and his beggarly condition. |
| No one is poor who does not think they are, however, if in prosperity with impatience they desire more, and proclaim their wants they disclose their beggarly condition. |
| Nothing is greater, or more fearful sacrilege than to prostitute the great name of God to the petulancy of an idle tongue |
