Be Neither Too Early In The Fashion,

With A Bloody Flux Of Oaths Vows Deep Revenge.

Money Is Both The Generation And Corruption Of Purchased Honor; Honor Is Both The Child And Slave Of Potent Money: The Credit Which Honor Hath Lost, Money Hath Found. When Honor Grew Mercenary, Money Grew Honorable. The Way To Be Truly Noble Is To Contemn Both.

The Worldly Wisdom Of The Foolish Man Is Like A Sieve, That Does Alone Retain The Grosser Substance Of The Worthless Bran: But Thou, My Soul, Let Thy Brave Thoughts Disdain So Coarse A Purchase: O Be Thou A Fan To Purge The Chaff, And Keep The Winnow'd Grain: Make Clean Thy Thoughts, And Dress Thy Mixt Desires: Thou Art Heav'n's Tasker, And Thy God Requires The Purest Of Thy Flow'r, As Well As Of Thy Fires.
