So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.”

Chances for being quiet nowadays are limited.”

A godly man, in the midst of the waves and storms that he meets with, can see the glory of heaven before him and so contents himself. One drop of the sweetness of heaven is enough to take away all the sourness and bitterness of all the afflictions in the world.”
