About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1812. Excerpt: ... Take part with reason against thy own will or humour. Wit is a fine thing in a wise man's hand. Speak not of my debts, except you mean to pay them. Words instruct, but examples persuade effectually. He who lives in hopes dies a fool. He who gives wisely sells to advantage. Years know more than books. Live so as you do mean to die. All earthly joys are empty bubbles, and do make men boys. Better unborn than untaught. If thou do ill, the joy fades, not the pains; if well, the pains do fade, the joy remains. Always refuse the advice which passion gives. Nor say nor do that thing, which anger prompts you to. Bear and forbear is short and good philosophy. Set out wisely at first; custom will make every virtue more easy and pleasant to you than any vice can be. The best and noblest conquest is that of a man's own reason over his passions and follies. OLD ITALIAN PROVERBS. He who serves God hath the best master in the world. Where God is, there nothing is wanting. No man is greater in truth, than he is in God's esteem. He hath a good judgment, who doth not rely on his own. Wealth is not his who gets it, but his who enjoys it. He who converses with nobody, is either a brute or an angel. Go not over the water where you cannot see the bottom. He who lives disorderly one year, doth not enjoy himself for five years after. Friendships are cheap, when they are to be bought with pulling off your hat. Speak well of your friend, of your enemy neither well nor ill. The friendship of a great man is a lion at the next door. The money you refuse will never do you good. A beggar's wallet is a mile to the bottom. I once had, is a poor man. There are a great many asses without long ears. An iron anvil should have a hammer of feathers. He keeps his road well enough, who gets rid ...
