Want Of Care Does Us More Damage

When You're Testing To See How Deep Water Is, Never Use Two Feet.

To Bear Other People's Afflictions, Everyone Has Courage And Enough To Spare.

This Gave Me Occasion To Observe, That When Men Are Employ'd They Are Best Contented. For On The Days They Work'd They Were Good-natur'd And Chearful; And With The Consciousness Of Having Done A Good Days Work They Spent The Evenings Jollily; But On The Idle Days They Were Mutinous And Quarrelsome, Finding Fault With Their Pork, The Bread, And In Continual Ill-humour. (autobiography, 1771)

Industry And Patience Are The Surest Means Of Plenty.

I Know Not Which Lives More Unnatural Lives, Obeying Husbands, Or Commanding Wives.
