Pride thyself on what virtue thou hast, and not on thy parentage.
Better hold the hand for coin, though small, Than lose, for one half a dang, it all.
Independence is of more value than any gifts; and to receive gifts is to lose it.
That which is not allotted the hand cannot reach; what is allotted you will find wherever you may be.
Holiness comes by holy deeds. Not starving flesh of daily needs.
Nothing is so good for an ignorant man as silence; and if he was sensible of this he would not be ignorant.
