Where fear is, happiness is not.

Wisdom allows nothing to be good that will not be so forever no man to be happy but he that needs no other happiness than what he has within himself no man to be great or powerful that is not master of himself.

The wish for healing has always been half of health.

We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres, or a little money and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation.

Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it.

I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene.

The less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it.

We are more often frightened than hurt and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.

The first step in a person's salvation is knowledge of their sin.

It makes a great deal of difference whether one wills not to sin or has not the knowledge to sin.
