Kill No More Pigeons Than You Can

Take Time For All Things.

Industry And Frugality, As The Means Of Procuring Wealth . . . Thereby [secures] Virtue, It Being More Difficult For A Man In Want To Act Always Honestly. . . .

Love Your Enemies, For They Tell You Your Faults.

When You Incline To Have New Clothes, Look First Well Over The Old Ones, And See If You Cannot Shift With Them Another Year, Either By Scouring, Mending, Or Even Patching If Necessary. Remember, A Patch On Your Coat, And Money In Your Pocket, Is Better And More Creditable, Than A Writ On Your Back, And No Money To Take It Off.

Lose No Time; Be Always Employed In Something Useful.
