Lose no time; be always employed in something useful.

There are many roads to success, but only one sure road to failure; and that is to try to please everyone else.

You will observe with concern how long a useful truth may be known, and exist, before it is generally received and practiced on.

Display is as false as it is costly.

In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two works, industry and frugality.

Remember, that money is of the prolific, generating nature. Money can beget money, and its offspring can beget more, and so on. Five shillings turned is six, turned again it is seven and threepence, and so on, till it becomes a hundred pounds. The more there is of it, the more it produces every turning, so that the profits rise quicker and quicker. He that kills a breeding sow, destroys all her offspring to the thousandth generation. He that murders a crown, destroys all that it might have produced, even scores of pounds.

If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as getting.
