Dangers By Being Despised Grow

Prudence Is Not Only The First In Rank Of The Virtues Political And Moral, But She Is The Director And Regulator, The Standard Of Them All.

Economy Is A Distributive Virtue, And Consists Not In Saving But Selection. Parsimony Requires No Providence, No Sagacity, No Powers Of Combination, No Comparison, No Judgment.

No Passion So Effectually Robs The Mind Of All Its Powers Of Acting And Reasoning As Fear.

Rage And Frenzy Will Pull Down More In Half An Hour Than Prudence, Deliberation, And Foresight Can Build Up In A Hundred Years.

My Vigour Relents. I Pardon Something To The Spirit Of Liberty.
