Prayer opens the heart to God, and it is the means by which the soul, though empty, is filled by God.

Words easy to be understood do often hit the mark, when high and learned ones do only pierce the air.

One leak will sink a ship: and one sin will destroy a sinner.

Mr Valiant-for-Truth

So he passed over, and the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.

I am going to my Fathers, and tho’ with great difficulty I am got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword, I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me, that I have fought his battles, who will now be my rewarder.

Who would true valour see,

A man that could look no way but downwards, with a muckrake in his hand.

He that is down needs fear no fall,

So I awoke, and behold it was a dream.
