All Wars Are Civil Ones;

God Bears With Imperfect Beings Even When They Resist His Goodness. We Ought To Imitate This Merciful Patience And Endurance. It Is Only Imperfection That Complains Of What Is Imperfect. The More Perfect We Are, The More Gentle And Quiet We Become Toward The Defects Of Other People.

We Are Not To Choose The Manner In Which Our Blessings Shall Be Bestowed.

Oh! How Seldom The Soul Is Silent, In Order That God May Speak.

No Human Power Can Force The Intrenchments Of The Human Mind: Compulsion Never Persuades; It Only Makes Hypocrites.

We Must Avoid Fastidiousness; Neatness, When It Is Moderate, Is A Virtue; But When It Is Carried To An Extreme, It Narrows The Mind.
