Habitually to apply exercise the mind in the application of
the true standard of morality, – will be habitually to train the
affections and the passions to virtuous tendencies & virtuous conduct. And the occasions
are infinite – they are occurring every hour of our existence – nor is
any occasion to be despised. Like flakes of snow that fall
unperceived upon the earth, – the seemingly unimportant
actions events of life make up one succeed one another. As The snow gathers together –
so is the is are mens our habits formed. No single flake that is added to the pile produces
a sensible change – no single action creates, however it may exhibit
a man's character, – but as the tempest throws hurls the avalanche down
the mountain, & overwhelms the inhabitant & his habitation – so
passion acting upon the elements of mischief which habit pernicious
habits have brought together by imperceptible accumulation, may overthrow
the edifice of truth & virtue.
