Nothing Is More Pleasing To God Than

Whose Gold Is Double With A Careful Hand, His Cares Are Double.

Be Not Too Great A Niggard In The Commendations Of Him That Professes Thy Own Quality: If He Deserve Thy Praise, Thou Hast Discovered Thy Judgment; If Not, Thy Modesty: Honor Either Returns Or Reflects To The Giver.

How Is The Anxious Soul Of Man Befool'd In His Desire, That Thinks An Hectic Fever May Be Cool'd In Flames Of Fire?

If Thou Desire To Purchase Honor With Thy Wealth, Consider First How That Wealth Became Thine; If Thy Labor Got It, Let Thy Wisdom Keep It; If Oppression Found It, Let Repentance Restore It; If Thy Parent Left It, Let Thy Virtues Deserve It; So Shall Thy Honor Be Safer, Better And Cheaper.

Seest Thou Good Days? Prepare For Evil Times. No Summer But Hath Its Winter. He Never Reaped Comfort In Adversity That Sowed Not In Prosperity.
