lying passing-by dwelling
To despond is to lie ungrateful beforehand. Be not looking for evil. Often thou drainest the gall of fear while evil is passing by thy dwelling.
mean soul mind
None is poor but the mean in mind, the timorous, the weak, and unbelieving; none is wealthy but the affluent in soul, who is satisfied and floweth over.
eye
Love looketh from the eye, and kindleth love by looking.
giving-up dark doubt
Never give up! it is wiser and betterAlways to hope, than once to despair.Fling off the load of Doubt's cankering fetter,And break the dark spell of tyrannical care.
lying limits wealth
There is a limit to enjoyment, though the sources of wealth be boundlessAnd the choicest pleasures of life lie within the ring of moderation.
sweet regret grief
There is not unmitigated ill in the sharpest of this world's sorrows; I touch not the sore of thy guilt; but of human griefs I counsel thee, Cast off the weakness of regret, and gird thee to redeem thy loss: Thou has gained, in the furnace of affliction, self-knowledge, patience and humility, And these be as precious ore, that waiteth the skill of the coiner: Despise not the blessings of adversity, nor the gain thou hast earned so hardly, And now thou hast drained the bitter, take heed that thou lose not the sweet.
lying mind vacancy
If the mind is wearied by study, or the body worn with sickness,It is well to lie fallow for a while, in the vacancy of sheer amusement ;But when thou prosprest in health, and thine intellect can soar untired,To seek uninstructive pleasure is to slumber on the couch of indolence.
faith wise men
Faith may rise into miracles of might, as some few wise men have shown; faith may sink into credulities of weakness, as the mass of fools have witnessed.
faith lines shade
Lay not the plummet to the line; religion hath no landmarks; no human keenness can discern the subtle shades of faith.
influence given policy
Policy counselleth a gift, given wisely and in season; And policy afterwards approveth it, for great is the influence of gifts.
hate men may
Hate furroweth the brow; and a man may frown till he hateth.
hope wretched
The most wretched have yet hope.
humility equal
It is the cringer to his equal that is chiefly seen bold to his God.
firsts instruction seeds
The seeds of first instructions are dropp'd into the deepest furrows.
