A good conscience is a continual Christmas.
None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error.
A long life may not be good enough, but a good life is long enough.
Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.
Industry, perseverance, and frugality make fortune yield.
Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all easy; and he that riseth late must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night; while laziness travels so slowly, that poverty soon overtakes him.
