Those Who Give Not Till

The Best Ground Untilled, Soonest Runs Out Into Rank Weeds. A Man Of Knowledge That Is Negligent Or Uncorrected, Cannot But Grow Wild And Godless.

A Man's Opinion Is In Others; His Being Is In Himself.

I Have Seldom Seen Much Ostentation And Much Learning Met Together. The Sun, Rising And Declining, Makes Long Shadows; At Mid Day, When He Is Highest, None At All.

Garments That Have Once One Rent In Them Are Subject To Be Torn On Every Nail, And Glasses That Are Once Cracked Are Soon Broken; Such Is Man's Good Name Once Tainted With Just Reproach.

Earthly Greatness Is A Nice Thing, And Requires So Much Chariness In The Managing, As The Contentment Of It Cannot Requite.
