A Single Grateful Thought Toward

Pleasures, Riches, Honor And Joy Are Sure To Have Care, Disgrace, Adversity And Affliction In Their Train. There Is No Pleasure Without Pain, No Joy Without Sorrow. O The Folly Of Expecting Lasting Felicity In A Vale Of Tears, Or A Paradise In A Ruined World.

For The Will And Not The Gift Makes The Giver.

It's Easier To Swoon In Pious Dreams Than Do Good Actions.

Let The Devil Catch You But By A Single Hair, And You Are His Forever.

I, Who Ne'erwent For Myself A Begging, Go A Borrowing,and That For Others. Borrowing's Much The Sameas Begging; Just As Lending Upon Usuryis Much The Same As Thieving.
