The next thing I would mention, and warn you against, is profaneness. This you know is forbidden by God.

All the time spent idly, is spent wickedly, and is unfaithfulness to our masters.

If there was no Bible, it would be no matter whether you could read or not. Reading other books would do you no good.

Let all the time you can get be spent in trying to learn to read.

The Bible is a revelation of the mind and will of God to men. Therein we may learn, what God is.

Now the Bible tells us that we are all by nature, sinners, that we are slaves to sin and Satan, and that unless we are converted, or born again, we must be miserable forever.

It is our duty to be faithful, not with eye service as men pleasers.

We live so little time in this world that it is no matter how wretched and miserable we are, if it prepares us for heaven.

We cannot certainly, have any excuse either for taking any thing that belongs to our masters without their leave, or for being unfaithful in their business.

It is very wicked for you not to take care of your masters goods, but how much worse is it to pilfer and steal from them, whenever you think you shall not be found out.

Good servants frequently make good masters.

If you sing to one person as if you’re singing to a million, you will soon have an audience of a million.

We can learn to return home to our open hearts at any moment.

For once you yourself cease to take pleasure in the common enjoyments of life, you hate the normal man who is so much more fortunate than yourself.

It may look like we're doing nothing when we sit zazen. But actually we are exposing ourselves to ourselves.

Wanting to leave is enough.

A difficult time can be more readily endured if we retain the conviction that our existence holds a purpose - a cause to pursue, a person to love, a goal to achieve.

If you wanna help, inspire, uplift, don't point the blame and talk down.

I've got no problem with octopuses. It's bugs and spiders that I don't like. Octopuses are cute, in their own 'nature did a lot of drugs' sort of way." - Becks

What I always try to do is make the political personal.

People shouldn't expect the mass media to do investigative stories. That job belongs to the 'fringe' media.
