The Better Day, The Worse

They That Die By Famine Die By Inches.

God Cannot Be Represented By An Image. We Ought Not To Think That The Godhead Is Like Unto Gold, Or Silver, Or Stone, Graven By Art And Man's Device. We Wrong God, And Put An Affront Upon Him, If We Think So. God Honoured Man In Making His Soul After His Own Likeness; But Man Dishonours God If He Makes Him After The Likeness Of His Body. The Godhead Is Spiritual, Infinite, Immaterial, Incomprehensible, And Therefore It Is A Very False And Unjust Conception Which An Image Gives Us Of God.

Riches, In The Hands Of A Man That Is Wise And Generous, Are Good For Something, But In The Hands Of A Sordid, Sneaking, Covetous Miser, They Are Good For Nothing.

If Ill Thoughts At Any Time Enter Into The Mind Of A Good Man, He Doth Not Roll Them Under His Tongue As A Sweet Morsel.

Man Takes A Great Deal Of Pains To Heap Up Riches, And They Are But Like Heaps Of Manure In The Furrows Of The Field, Good For Nothing Unless They Be Spread.
