Rarely promise, but, if lawful, constantly perform.

We are too apt to love praise, but not to deserve it.

All excess is ill, but drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men. It reveals secrets, is quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous and mad. In fine, he that is drunk is not a man: because he is so long void of Reason, that distinguishes a Man from a Beast.

Let us then try what Love will do: For if Men do once see we love them, we should soon find they would not harm us.

He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.

Clear therefore thy head, and rally, and manage thy thoughts rightly, and thou wilt save time, and see and do thy business well; for thy judgment will be distinct, thy mind free, and the faculties strong and regular.

Let us see what love can do.
