--JUNIUS.
Have more than thou showest,
Speak less than thou knowest,
Lend less than thou owest,
Learn more than thou trowest,
Set less than thou throwest.
--SHAKESPEARE.
A man, like a watch, is to be valued for his manner of going.--WILLIAM
PENN.
I would, God knows, in a poor woodman's hut
Have spent my peaceful days, and shared my crust
With her who would have cheer'd me, rather far
Than on this throne; but being what I am,
I'll be it nobly.
--JOANNA BAILLIE.
Only add
Deeds to thy knowledge answerable, add faith,
Add virtue, patience, temperance, add love,
By name to come call'd charity, the soul
Of all the rest: then wilt thou not be loath
To leave this Paradise, but shalt possess
A Paradise within thee, happier far.
--MILTON.
Take heed lest passion sway
Thy judgment to do aught which else free-will
Would not admit.
--MILTON.
CONFIDENCE.--Whatever distrust we may have of the sincerity of those
who converse with us, we always believe they will tell us more truth
than they do to others.--LA ROCHEFOUCAULD.
Never put much confidence in such as put no confidence in others.--HARE.
When young, we trust ourselves too much, and we trust others too
little when old. Rashness is the error of youth, timid caution of age.
