A learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant one.

Here is my Creed. I believe in one God, creator of the Universe. That he governs it by his Providence. That he ought to be worshiped. That the most acceptable service we render him is doing good to his other children. That the soul of Man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this.

Strive to be the best and you may succeed: he may well win the race that runs by himself.

To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.

Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself.

Can anything be constant in a world which is eternally changing?

Laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes it.
