We May Be As Good As We

Let Us Consider That Swearing Is A Sin Of All Others Peculiarly Clamorous, And Provocative Of Divine Judgment.

None Are Too Wise To Be Mistaken, But Few Are So Wisely Just As To Acknowledge And Correct Their Mistakes, And Especially The Mistakes Of Prejudice.

Sin Is Never At A Stay; If We Do Not Retreat From It, We Shall Advance In It; And The Farther On We Go, The More We Have To Come Back.

Even Private Persons In Due Season, With Discretion And Temper, May Reprove Others, Whom They Observe To Commit Sin, Or Follow Bad Courses, Out Of Charitable Design, And With Hope To Reclaim Them.

If We Desire To Live Securely, Comfortably, And Quietly, That By All Honest Means We Should Endeavor To Purchase The Good Will Of All Men, And Provoke No Man's Enmity Needlessly; Since Any Man's Love May Be Useful, And Every Man's Hatred Is Dangerous.
