A man too careful of danger liveth in continual torment, But a cheerful expecter of the best hath a fountain of joy within him.

Mind is a kingdom to the man who gathereth his pleasure from ideas.

Extravagance is the rich man's pitfall.

Humility mainly becometh the converse of man with his Maker.

Economy, the poor man's mint.

Hate furroweth the brow; and a man may frown till he hateth.

Speech is reason's brother, and a kingly prerogative of man.

Labour is good for a man, bracing up his energies to conquest, And without it life is dull, the man perceiving himself useless.

Man liveth from hour to hour, and knoweth not what may happen; Influences circle him on all sides, and yet must he answer for his actions: For the being that is master of himself, bendeth events to his will, But a slave to selfish passions is the wavering creature of circumstance.
