As the index tells us the contents of stories and directs to the particular chapter, even so does the outward habit and superficial order of garments (in man or woman) give us a taste of the spirit, and demonstratively point (as it were a manual note from the margin) all the internal quality of the soul; and there cannot be a more evident, palpable, gross manifestation of poor, degenerate, dunghilly blood and breeding than a rude, unpolished, disordered, and slovenly outside.

The soul is strong that trusts in goodness.

We have not an hour of life in which our pleasures relish not some pain, our sours, some sweetness.

Be wise; soar not too high to fall; but stoop to rise.

Petitions, not sweetened with gold, are but unsavory and oft refused; or, if received, are pocketed, not read.

Tis the only discipline we are born for; all studies else are but as circular lines, and death the center where they all must meet.

Gold--the picklock that never fails.
