Make Thy Recreation Servant To Thy Business,

A Lamb Appears A Lion, And We Fear Each Bush We See's A Bear.

Deliberate Long Before Thou Consecrate A Friend, And When Thy Impartial Justice Concludes Him Worthy Of Thy Bosom, Receive Him Joyfully, And Entertain Him Wisely; Impart Thy Secrets Boldly, And Mingle Thy Thoughts With His: He Is Thy Very Self; And Use Him So; If Thou Firmly Think Him Faithful, Thou Makest Him So.

Immortal Life Is Something To Be Earned, By Slow Self-conquest, Comradeship With Pain, And Patient Seeking After Higher Truths.

Of All Vices Take Heed Of Drunkenness; Other Vices Are But Fruits Of Disordered Affections--this Disorders, Nay, Banishes Reason; Other Vices But Impair The Soul--this Demolishes Her Two Chief Faculties, The Understanding And The Will; Other Vices Make Their Own Way--this Makes Way For All Vices; He That Is A Drunkard Is Qualified For All Vice.

If Opinion Hath Lighted The Lamp Of Thy Name, Endeavor To Encourage It With Thy Own Oil, Lest It Go Out And Stink; The Chronical Disease Of Popularity Is Shame; If Thou Be Once Up, Beware; From Fame To Infamy Is A Beaten Road.
