Halaman 26 - Whatsoever thou resolvest to do, do it quickly. Defer not till the evening what the morning may accomplish. Idleness is the parent of want, and of pain ; but the labour of virtue bringeth forth pleasure. The hand of diligence defeateth want ; prosperity and success are the industrious man's attendants.

Halaman 41 - ... its best inclinations. Be always more ready to forgive than to return an injury : he that watches for an opportunity of revenge, lieth in wait against himself, and draweth down mischief on his own head. A mild answer to an angry man, like water cast upon the fire, abateth his heat ; and from an enemy he shall become thy friend. Consider how few things are worthy of anger, and thou wilt wonder that any but fools should be wroth. In folly or weakness it always beginneth; but remember, and be well...
Halaman 70 - O praise his goodness with songs of thanksgiving, " and meditate, in silence, on the wonders of his love ; " let thy heart overflow with gratitude and acknowledg" ment ; let the language of thy lips speak praise and " adoration ; let the actions of thy life show thy love

Halaman 37 - The terrors of death are no terrors to the good ; restrain thy hand from evil, and thy soul shall have nothing to fear.
