Sage_......._...___*.. Domestic virtue . 
No single virtue could we most commend, 
Whether the wife, the mother, or the friend; 
For she was each in that supreme degree, 
That as no one prevail’d, so all was she. 
Pryden. 
The sum of all that makes a just man happy, 
Consists in the well choosing of his wife.

Salvia (Blue) . Wisdom. 
’Tis much he dares; 
And to that dauntless temper of his mind, 
He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valour. 
{Shakespeare. 
What’s the brow, 
Or the eye’s luster, or the step of air, 
Or colour, but the beautiful links that chain 
The mind from its rare elements.

Salvia (Red). Energy . 
The keen spirit 
Seizes the prompt occasion—makes the thought 
Start into instant action, and at once 
Plans and performs, resolves and executes! 
JIannah JdoORE. 
Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt; 
Nothing's so hard, but search will find it out.
