To Be Good To The Vile Is

Our Hours In Love Have Wings; In Absence, Crutches.

Where Envy Reigns Virtue Can't Exist, And Generosity Doesn't Go With Meanness.

Don't Put All Your Eggs In One Basket.

Cunning Cheats Itself Wholly, And Other People Partially.

The Virtuous Woman Must Be Treated Like A Relic - Adored, But Not Handled; She Should Be Guarded And Prized, Like A Fine Flower-garden, The Beauty And Fragrance Of Which The Owner Allows Others To Enjoy Only At A Distance, And Through Iron Walls.
