Let Thy Maid Servant Be Faithful, Strong,

My Refusing To Eat Meat Occasioned Inconveniency, And I Have Been Frequently Chided For My Singularity. But My Light Repast Allows For Greater Progress, For Greater Clearness Of Head And Quicker Comprehension.

I Think That Humanity Brings Much Misery On Itself By The False Value They Put On Things.

'tis True There Is Much To Be Done, . . . But Stick To It Steadily, And You Will See Great Effects, For Constant Dropping Wears Away Stones . . . And Little Strokes Fell Great Oaks, As Poor Richard Says. . . .

If A Sound Body And A Sound Mind, Which Is As Much As To Say Health And Virtue, Are To Be Preferred Before All Other Considerations, Ought Not Men, In Choosing A Business Either For Themselves Or Children, To Refuse Such As Are Unwholesome For The Body, And Such As Make A Man Too Dependent, Too Much Obliged To Please Others, And Too Much Subjected To Their Humors In Order To Be Recommended And Get A Livelihood?

Snowy Winter, A Plentiful Harvest.
