Charles Simmons quotes about
vanity use care
Those who obtain riches by labor, care, and watching, know their value. Those who impart them to sustain and extend knowledge, virtue, and religion, know their use. Those who lose them by accident or fraud know their vanity. And those who experience the difficulties and dangers of preserving them know their perplexities.
allow
It does not allow them to do anything else,
wrath giving way
Dare not usurp thy maker's place by giving way to wrath - wrath that goes forth in vengeance; "vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord."
food
He who feasts every day, feasts no day.
forgiveness doe noble
There is a noble forgetfulness-that which does not remember injuries.
witty expression order
Euphonic and harmonious expressions, forcible and just expressions, profound and comprehensive expressions, and especially apt and witty expressions, each have their specific influence upon different minds, and their common influence upon all minds.... It is therefore high time our most valuable aphorisms and paragraphs were put in order for frequent perusal, and for handy reference, as the circumstances of life call up subjects.
hype shame repentance
For the most part fraud in the end secures for its companions repentance and shame.
evil wells decided
It is a great evil, as well as a misfortune, to be unable to utter a prompt and decided 'no'.
choices fruit good-intentions
Good intentions are very mortal and perishable things. Like very mellow and choice fruit, they are difficult to keep.
heart evil mind
Both mind and heart when given up to reveries and dreaminess, have a thousand avenues open for the entrance of evil.
failure excuse confession
Uncalled for excuses are practical confessions.
intelligence intellectual useless
It is only the constant exertion and working of our sensitive, intellectual, moral, and physical machinery that keeps us from rusting, and so becoming useless.

Malice can always find a mark to shoot at, and a pretence to fire.
numbers sides smallest
The smallest number, with God and truth on their side, are weightier than thousands.
