Seek happiness for its own sake, and you will not find it; seek for duty, and happiness will follow as the shadow comes with the sunshine.
From Tryon Edwards
High aims form high characters, and great objects bring out great minds.
Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past.
Every parting is a form of death, as every reunion is a type of heaven.
Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another - too often ending in the loss of both.
One of the great lessons the fall of the leaf teaches, is this: do your work well and then be ready to depart when God shall call.
He that never changes his opinion never corrects mistakes and will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today.
Sinful and forbidden pleasures are like poisoned bread; they may satisfy appetite for the moment, but there is death in them at the end.
Between two evils, choose neither; between two goods, choose both.
We should be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep. The dead very often have more power than the living.
