Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full the resources that are within thy reach.

But an old age serene and bright, and lovely as a Lapland night, shall lead thee to thy grave.

Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather that it shall never have a beginning.

Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?

Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. Thy claim it as their own and none can keep it from them.

Dream manfully and nobly, and thy dreams shall be prophets.

Blessed be God that Thou hast filled the soul of Thy servant with joy and peace in believing.

Thy fate is the common fate of all; Into each life some rain must fall.

In this world, with thy earthly life, thou art under heaven, stars, and elements, also under hell and devils; all ruleth in thee, and over thee.

Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessities.

Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I'll forgive Thy great big joke on me.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, for there are plenty of others.

Burn not thy fingers to snuff another man's candle.

Behold, I am become a reproach to thy holy name, by serving any ambition and the sins of others; which though I did by the persuasion of other men, yet my own conscience did cheek and upbraid me in it.

Lord sanctify us. Oh! That Thy spirit might come and saturate every faculty, subdue every passion, and use every power of our nature for obedience to God.

Control thy passions lest they take vengence on thee.

Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not.

Teach thy tongue to say 'I do not know', and thou shalt progress.
