Hosea Ballou
Has not God borne with you these many years? Be ye tolerant to others.

Hosea Ballou
The eye is the inlet to the soul, and it is well to beware of him whose visual organs avoid your honest regard.
Hosea Ballou
It is in sickness that we most feel the need of that sympathy which shows how much we are dependent upon one another for our comfort, and even necessities. Thus disease, opening our eyes to the realities of life, is an indirect blessing.
Hosea Ballou
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul and the heart of man knoweth none more fragrant.
Hosea Ballou
Idleness is emptiness the tree in which the sap is stagnant, remains fruitless.
Hosea Ballou
Few things in this world more trouble people than poverty, or the fear of poverty and, indeed, it is a sore affliction but, like all other ills that flesh is heir to, it has its antidote, its reliable remedy. The judicious application of industry, prudence and temperance is a certain cure.
Hosea Ballou
There is no such thing as best in the world of individuals.
Hosea Ballou
Between the humble and contrite heart and the majesty of Heaven there are no barriers the only password is prayer.
