When The Flesh Presents Thee With Delights,

Lust Is A Sharp Spur To Vice, Which Always Putteth The Affections Into A False Gallop.

In Giving Of Thy Alms, Inquire Not So Much Into The Person, As His Necessity. God Looks Not So Much Upon The Merits Of Him That Requires, As Into The Manner Of Him That Relieves; If The Man Deserve Not, Thou Hast Given It To Humanity.

Borrow Neither Money Nor Time From Your Neighbor; Both Are Of Equal Value.

Temper Your Enjoyments With Prudence, Lest There Be Written On Your Heart That Fearful Word 'satiety.'

If Thou Desire To Purchase Honor With Thy Wealth, Consider First How That Wealth Became Thine; If Thy Labor Got It, Let Thy Wisdom Keep It; If Oppression Found It, Let Repentance Restore It; If Thy Parent Left It, Let Thy Virtues Deserve It; So Shall Thy Honor Be Safer, Better And Cheaper.
