“Sin spreads misery around it only when there is ground ready for the bad seed.”

“The sins of good men are greater than the sins of bad men. One lie from a truthful man is more hurtful than all the lies of a liar. The sins of a man after God's own heart have done more harm than all the crimes of all the Pagan emperors.”

“If God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, why shouldn't we forgive? If we are faithful and just, we shall.”

“God chooses our kinsfolk for us; but man chooses his own wife; having free will in that choice on which hangs his own life, and the lives of others. Yet the wisest of men said, 'Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of the Lord.' Ay, a good wife is the token of such loving favor as we know not yet in this world.”

“When you are attracted to, and eat, fruits, occasionally a seed will be carried within you to a fertile ground.”

“Happiness is something we reap from the seeds we sow. Plant misery seeds and that us what you reap.”

“When we make our own misery we sometimes cling to it even when we want so bad to change, because misery is something we know. The misery is comfortable.”
