To Do Evil That Good

Next To God, Thy Parents.

All Excess Is Ill, But Drunkenness Is Of The Worst Sort. It Spoils Health, Dismounts The Mind, And Unmans Men. It Reveals Secrets, Is Quarrelsome, Lascivious, Impudent, Dangerous And Mad. In Fine, He That Is Drunk Is Not A Man: Because He Is So Long Void Of Reason, That Distinguishes A Man From A Beast.

Neither Despise Nor Oppose What Thou Dost Not Understand.

It Is Wise Not To Seek A Secret, And Honest Not To Reveal One.

That Plenty Should Produce Either Covetousness Or Prodigality Is A Perversion Of Providence; And Yet The Generality Of Men Are The Worse For Their Riches.
