Mathematics - The Unshaken Foundation Of Sciences,

An Accomplished Mathematician, I.e. A Most Wretched Orator.

He That Loveth A Book Will Never Want A Faithful Friend, A Wholesome Counsellor, A Cheerful Companion, An Effectual Comforter. By Study, By Reading, By Thinking, One May Innocently Divert And Pleasantly Entertain Himself, As In All Weathers, So In All Fortunes.

That In Affairs Of Very Considerable Importance Men Should Deal With One Another With Satisfaction Of Mind, And Mutual Confidence, They Must Receive Competent Assurances Concerning The Integrity, Fidelity, And Constancy Each Of Other.

It Is A Fair Adornment Of A Man And A Great Convenience Both To Himself And To All Those With Whom He Converses And Deals, To Act Uprightly, Uniformly, And Consistently. The Practice Of Piety Frees A Man From Interior Distraction And From Irresolution In His Mind, From Duplicity Or Inconstancy In His Character, And From Confusion In His Proceedings, And Consequently Securing For Others Freedom From Deception And Disappointment In Their Transactions With Him.

It Is Safe To Make A Choice Of Your Thoughts, Scarcely Ever Safe To Express Them All.
