An Old Doting Fool, With One Foot

Fate, However, Is To All Appearance More Unavoidable Than Unexpected.

When The Strong Box Contains No More Both Friends And Flatterers Shun The Door.

Medicine To Produce Health Must Examine Disease; And Music, To Create Harmony Must Investigate Discord.

It Is No Flattery To Give A Friend A Due Character; For Commendation Is As Much The Duty Of A Friend As Reprehension.

Perseverance Is More Prevailing Than Violence; And Many Things Which Cannot Be Overcome When They Are Together, Yield Themselves Up When Taken Little By Little.
