Let us unite them together in one supreme power which shall govern us all according to wise laws, protect us and defend all members of the association, repulse common enemies and maintain us in everlasting concord…
I do not see what use a man can be put to, whose word cannot be trusted. How can a wagon be made to go if it has no yoke-bar, or a carriage if it has no collar-bar?
Doing good to others is not a duty. It is a joy, for it increases your own health and happiness.
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship… To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
The best way to find your self is to lose yourself in the service of others… All other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.
