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.

God helps those who help themselves.

Life is a kind of chess.

The most exquisite folly is made of wisdom spun too fine.

Be neither silly, nor cunning, but wise

As sore places meet most rubs, proud folks meet most affronts.

The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason: The Morning Daylight appears plainer when you put out your Candle.
