Pride Is As Loud A Beggar As

Hope Is An Essential Constituent Of Human Life.

Despair Ruins Some, Presumption Many.

Idleness And Pride Tax With A Heavier Hand Than Kings And Governments.

The Longer I Live The More Convinced I Become That God Governs In The Affairs Of Men. And Have We Now Forgotten That Powerful Friend? Or Do We Imagine We No Longer Need His Assistance.

I Believe There Is One Supreme Most Perfect Being. [...] I Believe He Is Pleased And Delights In The Happiness Of Those He Has Created; And Since Without Virtue Man Can Have No Happiness In This World, I Firmly Believe He Delights To See Me Virtuous.
