Opinion Is Something Wherein I

Take A Straw And Throw It Up Into The Air, You May See By That Which Way The Wind Is.

I Have Taken Much Pains To Know Everything That Is Esteemed Worth Knowing Amongst Men; But With All My Reading, Nothing Now Remains To Comfort Me At The Close Of This Life But This Passage Of St. Paul: "it Is A Faithful Saying, And Worthy Of All Acceptation, That Jesus Christ Came Into The World To Save Sinners." To This I Cleave, And Herein Do I Find Rest.

He That Has Not Religion To Govern His Morality, Is Not A Dram Better Than My Mastiff-dog; So Long As You Stroke Him, And Please Him, And Do Not Pinch Him, He Will Play With You As Finely As May Be, He Is A Very Good Moral Mastiff; But If You Hurt Him, He Will Fly In Your Face, And Tear Out Your Throat.

A Wise Man Should Never Resolve Upon Anything, At Least, Never Let The World Know His Resolution, For If He Cannot Reach That He Is Ashamed.

No Man Is The Wiser For His Learning; It May Administer Matter To Work In, Or Objects To Work Upon; But Wit And Wisdom Are Born With A Man.
