Be Sure That Religion Cannot Be Right

Frugality Is Good If Liberality Be Joined With It. The First Is Leaving Off Superfluous Expenses; The Last Is Bestowing Them To The Benefit Of Others That Need. The First Without The Last Begets Covetousness; The Last Without The First Begets Prodigality.

Inquiry Is Human; Blind Obedience Brutal. Truth Never Loses By The One But Often Suffers By The Other.

Dislike What Deserves It, But Never Hate: For That Is Of The Nature Of Malice; Which Is Almost Ever To Persons, Not Things, And Is One Of The Blackest Qualities Sin Begets In The Soul.

The Smaller The Drink, The Clearer The Head, And The Cooler The Blood.

Men Must Be Governed By God Or They Will Be Ruled By Tyrants.
