There is for a free man no occupation more worthy and delightful than to contemplate the beauteous works of nature and honor the infinite wisdom and goodness of God.
A pound of worry won't pay an ounce of debt.
The tree falls not at the first stroke.
Diseases are the tax on pleasures.
He who pays the piper can call the tunes.
Children, when they are little, they make parents fools; when great, mad.
