It Is A Cruel Folly To Offer

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.

Clear Therefore Thy Head, And Rally, And Manage Thy Thoughts Rightly, And Thou Wilt Save Time, And See And Do Thy Business Well; For Thy Judgment Will Be Distinct, Thy Mind Free, And The Faculties Strong And Regular.

Hasty Resolutions Are Of The Nature Of Vows, And To Be Equally Avoided.

Governments, Like Clocks, Go From The Motion Men Give Them, And As Governments Are Made And Moved By Men, So By Them They Are Ruined Too. Wherefore Governments Rather Depend Upon Men, Than Men Upon Governments. Let Men Be Good, And The Government Cannot Be Bad; If It Be Ill, They Will Cure It. But If Men Be Bad, Let The Government Be Never So Good, They Will Endeavour To Warp And Spoil It To Their Turn.

There Can Be No Friendship Where There Is No Freedom.
