He that would travel for the entertainment of others should remember that the great object of remark is human life.

As he that lives longest lives but a little while, every man may be certain that he has no time to waste. The duties of life are commensurate to its duration; and every day brings its task, which, if neglected, is doubled on the morrow.

No mind is much employed upon the present; recollection and anticipation fill up almost all our moments.

Frugality may be termed the daughter of Prudence, the sister of Temperance, and the parent of Liberty.

He that has too much to do will do something wrong.

Life is short. The sooner that a man begins to enjoy his wealth the better.

Life must be filled up, and the man who is not capable of intellectual pleasures must content himself with such as his senses can afford.
