God created the universe in such a manner that all in common might derive their food from it, and that the Earth should also be a property common to all.

Nothing escapes God's knowledge. This is proved by the witness of the Scriptures and the analogy of the sun, which, although created, yet by its light or heat enters into all things.

Nothing graces the Christian soul so much as mercy; mercy as shown chiefly towards the poor, that thou mayest treat them as sharers in common with thee in the produce of nature, which brings forth the fruits of the earth for use to all.

It is not enough just to wish well; we must also do well.

Where a man's heart is, there is his treasure also.

A kindness received should be returned with a freer hand.
