Never say more than is necessary.

One never finds in man good or evil in excess.

No man burdens his mind with small matters unless he has some very good reason for doing so.

No man ever raised a monument to a cynic or wrote a poem about a man without faith.

in times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity.

I believe no man was ever scolded out of his sins.

No man shall be blamed in the maintenance of his own religion.

If our hearts were truly pure, we would never have our fill of the words of your Lord.

Your sense of responsibility to others can never be excessive.

To conclude, therefore, let no man upon a weak conceit of sobriety or an ill-applied moderation think or maintain that a man can search too far, or be too well studied in the book of God's word, or the book of God's works, divinity or philosophy; but rather let men endeavor an endless progress or proficience in both; only let men beware that they apply both to charity, and not to swelling; to use, and not to ostentation; and again, that they do not unwisely mingle or confound these learnings together.
