Wealth is a weak anchor, and glory cannot support a man; this is the law of God, that virtue only is firm, and cannot be shaken by a tempest.

Do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few.

There is no word or action but has its echo in Eternity.

Do not even think of doing what ought not to be done.

As soon as you awake, in order Lay the actions to be done the coming day.

Choose always the way that seems the best, however rough it may be; custom will soon render it easy and agreeable.

If you're asked: What is the silence? Respond: It is the first stone of the Wisdom's temple.
