Treason is greatest where trust is greatest.
Virtue in distress, and vice in triumph make atheists of mankind.
He who would pry behind the scenes oft sees a counterfeit.
But wild Ambition loves to slide, not stand, And Fortune's ice prefers to Virtue's land.
Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections.
When bounteous autumn rears her head, he joys to pull the ripened pear.
