We Are Apt To Love Praise, But

Frugality Is Good If Liberality Be Joined With It. The First Is Leaving Off Superfluous Expenses; The Last Is Bestowing Them To The Benefit Of Others That Need. The First Without The Last Begets Covetousness; The Last Without The First Begets Prodigality.

Avoid Popularity; It Has Many Snares, And No Real Benefit.

Covetousness Is The Greatest Of Monsters, As Well As The Root Of All Evil.
