And he that does one fault at first And lies to hide it, makes it two.

There's no repentance in the grave.

Learn good-humor, never to oppose without just reason; abate some degree of pride and moroseness.

Abandon the secret chamber and the spiritual life will decay.

Affect not little shifts and subterfuges to avoid the force of an argument.

To prevent and suppress rising resentment is wise and glorious, is manly and divine.

The child taught to believe any occurrence a good or evil omen, or any day of the week lucky, hath a wide inroad made upon the soundness of his understanding.
