In The Morning Fix Thy Good Purpose;

Permit No Hour To Go By Without It Due Improvement.

Man Proposes, But God Disposes. [lat., Nam Homo Proponit, Sed Deus Disponit.]

Leave Off That Excessive Desire Of Knowing; Therein Is Found Much Distraction. There Are Many Things The Knowledge Of Which Is Of Little Or No Profit To The Soul.

For Nothing, How Little Soever, That Is Suffered For God's Sake, Can Pass Without Merit In The Sight Of God.

Of What Use Is A Long Life, If We Amend So Little? Alas, A Long Life Often Adds To Our Sins Rather Than To Our Virtue!
