For evil he returneth not evil : he hateth not even his enemies ; but requiteth their injustice with friendly admonition. The griefs and anxieties of men excite' his compassion; he endeavoureth to alleviate the weight of their misfortunes; and the pleasure of success rewardeth his labour. Page 104 - And when ye separate in the world, remember the relation that bindeth you to love and unity ; and prefer not a stranger before thine own blood. If thy brother is in adversity, assist him ; if thy sister is in trouble, forsake her not.

Page 16 - He hath instituted laws for the government ot the world : he hath wonderfully varied them in all beings ; and each, by his nature, conformeth to his will. In the depths of his mind he revolveth all knowledge ; the secrets of futurity lie open before him. The thoughts of thy heart are naked to his view ; he knoweth thy determinations before they arc made. Page 49 - He is consistent with himself; he is never embarrassed; he hath courage enough for truth, but to lie he is afraid. He is far above the meanness of dissimulation ; the words of his mouth are the thoughts of his heart. Page 41 - These blessings if thou possessest, and wouldst preserve to old age, avoid the allurements of voluptuousness, and fly from her temptations. When she spreadeth her delicacies on the board, when her wine sparkleth in the cup, when she smileth upon thee, and persuadeth thee to be joyful and happy ; then is the hour of danger, then let reason stand firmly on her guard. Page 99 - The prudence of her management is an honour to her husband, and he heareth her praise with a secret delight. She informeth the minds of her children with wisdom ; she fashioneth their manners from the example of her own goodness. The word of her mouth is the law of their youth, the motion of her eye commandeth obedience. Page 49 - Truth, and hast fixed thy heart on the simplicity of her charms, hold fast thy fidelity unto her, and forsake her not ; the constancy of thy virtue shall crown thee with honour. The tongue of the sincere is rooted in his heart; hypocrisy and deceit have no place in his words. Bibliographic information
