Mercy Turns Her Back To The Unmerciful.

What Well-advised Ear Regards What Earth Can Say? Thy Words Are Gold, But Thy Rewards Are Painted Clay.

Heaven Is Never Deaf But When Man's Heart Is Dumb.

If Thou Desire To See Thy Child Virtuous, Let Him Not See His Father's Vices: Thou Canst Not Rebuke That In Them, That They Behold Practised In Thee; Till Reason Be Ripe, Examples Direct More Than Precepts: Such As Thy Behaviour Is Before Thy Children's Faces, Such Commonly Is Theirs Behind Their Parents' Backs.

If Thou Wouldst Be Justified, Acknowledge Thine Injustice. He That Confesses His Sin, Begins His Journey Toward Salvation. He That Is Sorry For It, Mends His Pace. He That Forsakes It, Is At His Journey's End.

Poor Thieves In Halters We Behold; And Great Thieves In Their Chains Of Gold.
