I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.
How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.
Would thou confound thy enemy, be good thyself.
No better relation than a prudent and faithful friend.
Keep conscience clear, then never fear.
Industry, perseverance, and frugality make fortune yield.
