Beware of the young doctor and the old barber.

Cunning proceeds from want of capacity.

To expect people to be good, to be just, to be temperate, etc., without showing them how they should become so, seems like the ineffectual charity mentioned by the apostle, which consisted in saying to the hungry, the cold and the naked, be ye fed, be ye warmed, be ye clothed, without showing them how they should get food, fire or clothing.

I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal. Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.

I have met the enemy, and it is the eyes of other people.

Don't you know, that all wives are in the right? It may be you don't, for you are yet a young husband.

Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
