Idleness is the Dead Sea that swallows all virtues. Be active in business, that temptation may miss her aim; the bird that sits is easily shot.

How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.

Proclaim not all though knowest, or all though owest.

Think of these things, whence you came, where you are going, and to whom you must account.

...till we are uneasy in Rest, we can have no Desire to move, and without Desire of moving there can be no voluntary Motion.
