It Is Not Good To Wake A

There Is Little Hope Of Equity Where Rebellion Reigns.

Hope Itself Is A Pain, While It Is Overmatched By Fear.

Friendship Is Made Fast By Interwoven Benefits.

When It Shall Please God To Bring Thee To Man's Estate, Use Great Providence And Circumspection In Choosing Thy Wife. For From Thence Will Spring All Thy Future Good Or Evil; And It Is An Action Of Life, Like Unto A Stratagem Of War; Wherein A Man Can Err But Once!

Gold Can Gild A Rotten Stick, And Dirt Sully An Ingot.
