Brevity and conciseness are the parents of correction

A single bad habit will mar an otherwise faultless character, as an ink-drop soileth the pure white page

Disease is the retribution of outraged Nature

Falsehood is cowardice, the truth courage

Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within the hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character

Never let your zeal outrun your charity. The former is but human, the latter is divine

No one has a greater asset for his business than a man's pride in his work

Though ambition in itself is a vice, it often is also the parent of virtue.
