Nine Men In Ten Are Suicides.

Prodigality Of Time Produces Poverty Of Mind As Well As Of Estate.

People Willing To Trade Their Freedom For Temporary Security Deserve Neither And Will Lose Both.

If Men Are So Wicked As We Now See Them With Religion What Would They Be If Without It?

A Little House Well Fill'd, A Little Field Well Till'd, And A Little Wife Well Will'd, Are Great Riches.

This Gave Me Occasion To Observe, That When Men Are Employ'd They Are Best Contented. For On The Days They Work'd They Were Good-natur'd And Chearful; And With The Consciousness Of Having Done A Good Days Work They Spent The Evenings Jollily; But On The Idle Days They Were Mutinous And Quarrelsome, Finding Fault With Their Pork, The Bread, And In Continual Ill-humour.
