Be Neither Silly, Nor Cunning,

Content Makes Poor Men Rich; Discontent Makes Rich Men Poor.

Many A Long Dispute Among Divines May Be Thus Abridged: It Is So; It Is Not So. It Is So; It Is Not So.

If We Are Industrious, We Shall Never Starve; For, At The Workingman's House Hunger Looks In, But Dares Not Enter. Nor Will The Bailiff Or The Constable Enter, For Industry Pays Debts, While Despair Increaseth Them.

As To The Kindness You Mention, I Wish I Could Have Been Of More Service To You Than I Have Been, But If I Had, The Only Thanks That I Should Desire Are That You Would Always Be Ready To Serve Any Other Person That May Need Your Assistance, And So Let Good Offices Go Around, For Humankind Are All Of A Family. As For My Own Part, When I Am Employed In Serving Others I Do Not Look Upon Myself As Conferring Favors But Paying Debts.

Diligence Is The Mother Of Good Luck, And God Gives All Things To Industry. Work While It Is Called Today, For You Know Not How Much You May Be Hindered By Tomorrow. One Today Is Worth Two Tomorrows; Never Leave That Till Tomorrow Which You Can Do To-day.
