Shun to seek what is hid in the womb of the morrow, and set down as gain in life's ledger whatever time fate shall have granted thee.

Remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even.

A crafty knave needs no broker.

Poverty urges us to do and suffer anything that we may escape from it, and so leads us away from virtue.

What has not wasting time impaired?

Is virtue raised by culture, or self-sown?

What does it avail you, if of many thorns only one be removed.
