INSPIRATION: “God made man to go by motives, arid, he will not go without them, any more than a boat without steam, or a balloon without gas.” DUTY: “He that does good for good’s sake seeks neither praise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.” HOPE: “For present grief there is always a remedy; however much thou sufferest, hope; hope is the greatest happiness of man.” 11
