"A word of consolation may sweetly touch the ear.Now and then a quiet songwill clear the mind of fear.A simple act of kindnesscan ease a load of care.Stories told in memorydiminish all despair.A whispered prayer of comfortdraws angel arms around.Counting blessings, great and small,helps gratitude abound.These acts, all sympathetic,will kindly play their part.But seldom do they dry the tearsshed mutely in the heart."

"However, without considering this connection, there is no doubt but that more good than evil, more delight than sorrow, arises from compassion itself; there being so many things which balance the sorrow of it."

Balance

Quote_1.png
Joseph Butler
"Things and actions are what they are, and the consequences of them will be what they will be: why then should we desire to be deceived?"

Quote_1.png
Joseph Butler

Compassion

Quote_1.png
Joseph Butler
"People might love themselves with the most entire and unbounded affection, and yet be extremely miserable."

Love

Quote_1.png
Joseph Butler
"Remember likewise there are persons who love fewer words, an inoffensive sort of people, and who deserve some regard, though of too still and composed tempers for you."

Love

Quote_1.png
Joseph Butler
"As this world was not intended to be a state of any great satisfaction or high enjoyment, so neither was it intended to be a mere scene of unhappiness and sorrow."

Enjoyment

Quote_1.png
Joseph Butler
"The private interest of the individual would not be sufficiently provided for by reasonable and cool self-love alone; therefore the appetites and passions are placed within as a guard and further security, without which it would not be taken due care of."

Care

Quote_1.png
Joseph Butler
"This was the man, this Balaam, I say, was the man, who desired to die the death of the righteous, and that his last end might be like his; and this was the state of his mind when he pronounced these words."

Death

Quote_1.png
Joseph Butler
"Both our senses and our passions are a supply to the imperfection of our nature; thus they show that we are such sort of creatures as to stand in need of those helps which higher orders of creatures do not."
