Take Heed Thou Trust Not The Deceitful

Let The Ground Of All Thy Religious Actions Be Obedience; Examine Not Why It Is Commanded, But Observe It Because It Is Commanded. True Obedience Neither Procrastinates Nor Questions.

Let The Fear Of A Danger Be A Spur To Prevent It; He That Fears Not Gives Advantage To The Danger; It Is Less Folly Not To Endeavor The Prevention Of The Evil Thou Fearest Than To Fear The Evil Which Thy Endeavor Cannot Prevent.

My Soul, Sit Thou A Patient Looker-on; Judge Not The Play Before The Play Is Done: Her Plot Hath Many Changes; Every Day Speaks A New Scene; The Last Act Crowns The Play

What Money Creates, Money Preserves: If Thy Wealth Decays, Thy Honor Dies; It Is But A Slippery Happiness Which Fortunes Can Give, And Frowns Can Take; And Not Worth The Owning Which A Night's Fire Can Melt, Or A Rough Sea Can Drown.

In Giving Of Thy Alms, Inquire Not So Much Into The Person, As His Necessity. God Looks Not So Much Upon The Merits Of Him That Requires, As Into The Manner Of Him That Relieves; If The Man Deserve Not, Thou Hast Given It To Humanity.
