Consider When Thou Art Much Vexed Or

How Many After Being Celebrated By Fame Have Been Given Up To Oblivion; And How Many Who Have Celebrated The Fame Of Others Have Long Been Dead.

If It Is Not Right Do Not Do It; If It Is Not True Do Not Say It.

Do Not Suffer A Sudden Impression To Overbear Your Judgment.

The Healthy Eye Ought To See All Visible Things And Not To Say, I Wish For Green Things; For This Is The Condition Of A Diseased Eye.

Never Act Without Purpose And Resolve, Or Without The Means To Finish The Job.
