If You'd Lose A Troublesome

I Wish It (christianity) Were More Productive Of Good Works ... I Mean Real Good Works ... Not Holy Day Keeping, Sermon-hearing ... Or Making Long Prayers, Filled With Flatteries And Compliments Despised By Wise Men, And Much Less Capable Of Pleasing The Deity.

I Early Found That When I Worked For Myself Alone, Myself Alone Worked For Me; But When I Worked For Others Also, Others Worked Also For Me.

I Think With You, That Nothing Is Of More Importance For The Public Weal, Than To Form And Train Up Youth In Wisdom And Virtue. Wise And Good Men Are In My Opinion, The Strength Of The State; More So Than Riches Or Arms.

Having Been Poor Is No Shame, But Being Ashamed Of It, Is.

If You Can't Pay For A Thing, Don't Buy It. If You Can't Get Paid For It, Don't Sell It. Do This, And You Will Have Calm And Drowsy Nights, With All Of The Good Business You Have Now And None Of The Bad. If You Have Time, Don't Wait For Time.
