Mercy turns her back to the unmerciful.
The way to bliss lies not on beds of down, And he that had no cross deserves no crown.
The road to perseverance lies by doubt.
Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word 'satiety.'
If thou desire to be held wise, be so wise as to hold thy tongue.
In thy apparel avoid singularity, profuseness, and gaudiness. Be not too early in the fashion, nor too late. Decency is half way between affectation and neglect. The body is the shell of the soul, apparel is the husk of that shell; the husk often tells you what the kernel is.
