We adore the Divine Being, he who is from eternity to eternity.
On these causes depend all the happiness or misery which exist among
men.
The enemies who we have most to fear, are those of our own hearts.
Is it me or him who you requested to go?
Though great has been his disobedience and his folly, yet if he
sincerely acknowledges his misconduct, he shall be forgiven.
There were, in the metropolis, much to amuse them.
By exercising of our memories, they are improved.
The property of my friend, I mean his books and furniture, were
wholly consumed.
Affluence might give us respect in the eyes of the vulgar, but will
not recommend us to the wise and good.
The cares of this world, they often choke the growth of virtue.
They that honor me, I will honor; and them that despise me, shall be
lightly esteemed.
