In the school of Christ they are the best scholars who continue learning to the last. - Christian Scriver

O, my God! withhold from me the wealth to which tears, and sighs, and curses cleave. Better none at all than wealth like that!

My God, give me neither poverty nor riches; but whatsoever it may be Thy will to give, give me with it a heart which knows humbly to acquiesce in what is Thy will.

Never have I greater reason for suspicion than when I am particularly pleased with myself, my faith, my prayers, and my alms.
