Those who desire to become rich, desire it at once.
The examples of vice at home corrupt us more quickly and easily than others, since they steal into our minds under the highest authority.
The doings of men, their prayers, fear, wrath, pleasure, delights, and recreations, are the subject of this book.
It is sheer madness to live in want in order to be wealthy when you die.
Honesty is praised and left in the cold.
It is sheer folly when all is gone to lose even one's passage money.
