Heav'n Is Not Always Got By Running.

Blessedness Is Promised To The Peacemaker, Not To The Conqueror.

If Thou Seest Anything In Thyself Which May Make Thee Proud, Look A Little Further And Thou Shalt Find Enough To Humble Thee; If Thou Be Wise, View The Peacock's Feathers With His Feet, And Weigh Thy Best Parts With Thy Imperfections.

My Soul, What's Lighter Than A Feather? Wind. Than Wind? The Fire. And What Than Fire? The Mind. What's Lighter Than The Mind? A Thought. Than Thought? This Bubble World. What Than This Bubble? Nought.

Deliberate Long Before Thou Consecrate A Friend, And When Thy Impartial Justice Concludes Him Worthy Of Thy Bosom, Receive Him Joyfully, And Entertain Him Wisely; Impart Thy Secrets Boldly, And Mingle Thy Thoughts With His: He Is Thy Very Self; And Use Him So; If Thou Firmly Think Him Faithful, Thou Makest Him So.

Be Not Too Rash In The Breaking Of An Inconvenient Custom; As It Was Gotten, So Leave It By Degrees. Danger Attends Upon Too Sudden Alterations; He That Pulls Down A Bad Building By The Great May Be Ruined By The Fall, But He That Takes It Down Brick By Brick May Live To Build A Better.
