Avoid Flatterers, For They Are

But Make Not More Business Necessary Than Is So; And Rather Lessen Than Augment Work For Thyself.

Hasty Resolutions Are Of The Nature Of Vows, And To Be Equally Avoided.

I Expect To Pass Through Life But Once. If Therefore, There Be Any Kindness I Can Show, Or Any Good Thing I Can Do To Any Fellow Being, Let Me Do It Now, And Not Defer Or Neglect It, As I Shall Not Pass This Way Again.

Nor Must We Always Be Neutral Where Our Neighbors Are Concerned: For Tho' Meddling Is A Fault, Helping Is A Duty.

Where Thou Art Obliged To Speak, Be Sure Speak The Truth: For Equivocation Is Half Way To Lying, As Lying, The Whole Way To Hell.
