For Disappointments, That Come Not

Between A Man And His Wife Nothing Ought To Rule But Love. Authority Is For Children And Servants, Yet Not Without Sweetness.

To Hazard Much To Get Much Has More Of Avarice Than Wisdom.

For Disappointments, That Come Not By Our Own Folly, They Are The Trials Or Corrections Of Heaven: And It Is Our Own Fault, If They Prove Not Our Advantage.

Nor Must We Always Be Neutral Where Our Neighbors Are Concerned: For Tho' Meddling Is A Fault, Helping Is A Duty.

Were The Superfluities Of A Nation Valued, And Made A Perpetual Tax Or Benevolence, There Would Be More Alms-houses Than Poor, Schools Than Scholars, And Enough To Spare For Government Besides.
