| All pleasure must be bought at the price of pain. | 1 |
| Fine feelings, without vigour of reason, are in the situation of the extreme feathers of a peacock’s tail—dragging in the mud. | 2 |
| For the true the price is paid before you enjoy it; for the false, after you enjoy it. | 3 |
| Polished steel will not shine in the dark; no more can reason, however refined, shine efficaciously but as it reflects the fight of Divine truth shed from heaven. | 4 |
