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.

An old young man, will be a young old man.

Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.

My refusing to eat flesh occasioned an inconveniency, and I was frequently chid for my singularity.

Acquire Riches by Industry and Frugality.

A Republic, if you can keep it.

Write your injuries in dust, your benefits in marble.
