If A Man Could Have Half Of

Let Each New Year Find You A Better Person.

Let Honesty Be As The Breath Of Thy Soul; Then Shalt Thou Reach The Point Of Happiness, And Independence Shall Be Thy Shield And Buckler, Thy Helmet And Crown; Then Shall Thy Soul Walk Upright, Nor Stoop To The Silken Wretch Because He Hath Riches, Nor Pocket An Abuse Because The Hand Which Offers It Wears A Ring Set With Diamonds.

Nor Eye In A Letter, Nor Hand In A Purse, Nor Ear In The Secret Of Another.

The Sting Of A Reproach, Is The Truth Of It.

If You Can't Pay For A Thing, Don't Buy It. If You Can't Get Paid For It, Don't Sell It. Do This, And You Will Have Calm And Drowsy Nights, With All Of The Good Business You Have Now And None Of The Bad. If You Have Time, Don't Wait For Time.
