Hope and be happy that all's for the best!

Extravagance is the rich man's pitfall.

As thou directest the power, harm or advantage will follow, and the torrent that swept the valley may be led to turn a mill.

Power is seldom innocent, and envy is the yokefellow of eminence.

Never give up! If adversity presses, Providence wisely has mingled the cup, And the best counsel, in all your distresses, Is the stout watchword of "Never give up."

Faith may rise into miracles of might, as some few wise men have shown; faith may sink into credulities of weakness, as the mass of fools have witnessed.

Trifles lighter than straws are levers in the building up of character.
