I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good you have to practice practice practice. If you don't love something then don't do it.

Those disputing contradicting and confuting people are generally unfortunate in their affairs. They get victory sometimes but they never get good will which would be of more use to them.

Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss.

No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.

He who bestows his goods upon the poor shall have as much again and ten times more.

It's good to shut up sometimes.

The good times of today are the sad thoughts of tomorrow.

I've looked on many women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.

It's always nice when you do something and it's well received as opposed to the other way which God knows happens to everybody. When the good times come around you take a deep breath appreciate it but not take it too seriously.

In these times God's people must trust him for rest of body and soul.
