(337) 
Never give out what does not come in.—An alms-deed God will reward; 
otherwise, do not spend, but produce. 
Let the greatest order regulate the actions of your life. 
Study in your course of life to do the greatest amount of good. 
Deprive yourself of nothing that is necessary to your comfort, but live in 
honorable simplicity and frugality. 
Labor, while you have^time, for the honor of God and the welfare of your 
fellow-men! 
Criticisms never hurt anybody. If false, they can’t hurt you unless you 
are wanting in manly character; and if true, they show a man his weak points 
and forewarn him against failure. 
The true dignity and excellence of man lies in his moral qualities, that is, 
in virtue; and virtue alone, wherever found, will be followed by the rewards of 
everlasting happiness.

Lives of great men all remind us 
We can make our lives sublime; 
And departing, leave behind us 
Footprints on the sands of time.

In this wide world, the fondest and the best 
Are the most tried, most troubled, and distress’d.
