If You Would Be Good, First Believe

Each Man's Life Is A Kind Of Campaign, And A Long And Complicated One At That. You Have To Maintain The Character Of A Soldier, And Do Each Separate Act At The Bidding Of The General.

Think Of God Oftener Than You Breathe.

As In Walking It Is Your Great Care Not To Run Your Foot Upon A Nail, Or To Tread Awry, And Strain Your Leg; So Let It Be In All The Affairs Of Human Life, Not To Hurt Your Mind Or Offend Your Judgment. And This Rule, If Observed Carefully In All Your Deportment, Will Be A Mighty Security To You In Your Undertakings.

Difficulty Shows What Men Are.

A Soul That Makes Virtue Its Companion Is Like An Over-flowing Well, For It Is Clean And Pellucid, Sweet And Wholesome, Open To All, Rich, Blameless And Indestructible.
