"I never could have done what I have done, without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time."

"It is a very remarkable thing, that the very things which are most necessary are the very things that are most neglected."

"I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year."
