Hosea Ballou

Energy, even like the biblical grain of mustard-seed, will remove mountains.

Folly is like the growth of weeds, always luxurious and spontaneous; wisdom, like flowers, requires cultivation.

The teacher is like the candle, it lights others in consuming itself.

Tears of joy, like summer raindrops, are pierced by sunbeams.
