If a man desireth the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigil...ant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (for if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?).LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

I fear the popular notion of success stands in direct opposition in all points to the real and wholesome success. One adores publi...c opinion, the other, private opinion; one, fame, the other, desert; one, feats, the other, humility; one, lucre, the other, love; one, monopoly, and the other, hospitality of mind.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Civilization does not engross all the virtues of humanity: she has not even her full share of them. They flourish in greater abund...ance and attain greater strength among many barbarous people. The hospitality of the wild Arab, the courage of the North American Indian, and the faithful friendships of some of the Polynesian nations, far surpass any thing of a similar kind among the polished communities of Europe.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
