Don't Flatter The Rich, Or Appear To

Love Is Watchful. Sleeping, It Does Not Slumber. Wearied, It Is Not Tired. Pressed, It Is Not Straitened. Alarmed, It Is Not Confused, But Like A Living Flame, A Burning Torch, It Forces Its Way Upward And Passes Unharmed Through Every Obstacle.

If Thou Wilt Receive Profit, Read With Humility, Simplicity And Faith, And Seek Not At Any Time The Fame Of Being Learned.

Habit Is Overcome By Habit. [lat., Consuetudo Consuetudine Vincitur.]

Do Not Try To Find A Place Free From Temptations And Troubles. Rather, Seek A Peace That Endures Even When You Are Beset By Various Temptations And Tried By Much Adversity.

Do Not Read To Satisfy Curiosity Or To Pass The Time, But Study Such Things As Move Your Heart To Devotion.
