Poverty, Poetry, and new Titles of Honor, make Men ridiculous

Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.

A wise man will desire no more than what he may get justly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and leave contently.

Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and governments.

When men differ in opinion, both sides ought equally to have the advantage of being heard by the public; when Truth and Error have fair play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter.

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Little rogues easily become great ones.
