If God Send Thee A Cross, Take

Wisdom Not Only Gets, But Once Got, Retains.

Though Virtue Give A Ragged Livery, She Gives A Golden Cognizance; If Her Service Make Thee Poor, Blush Not. Thy Poverty May Disadvantage Thee, But Not Dishonor Thee.

No Man Is Born Unto Himself Alone; Who Lives Unto Himself, He Lives To None.

Be Not Too Rash In The Breaking Of An Inconvenient Custom; As It Was Gotten, So Leave It By Degrees. Danger Attends Upon Too Sudden Alterations; He That Pulls Down A Bad Building By The Great May Be Ruined By The Fall, But He That Takes It Down Brick By Brick May Live To Build A Better.

O Lust, Thou Infernal Fire, Whose Fuel Is Gluttony; Whose Flame Is Pride, Whose Sparkles Are Wanton Words; Whose Smoke Is Infamy; Whose Ashes Are Uncleanness; Whose End Is Hell.
