Pagina v - As it is in the body, so it is in the mind ; practice makes it what it is ; and most even of those excellencies which are looked on as natural endowments, will be found, when examined into more narrowly, to be the product of exercise, and to be raised to that pitch only by repeated actions.
Pagina 106 - And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
