Remember, That Six Pounds A Year Is

In Short, I Conceive That Great Part Of The Miseries Of Mankind Are Brought Upon Them By The False Estimates They Have Made Of The Value Of Things, And By Their Giving Too Much For Their Whistles.

When You Incline To Have New Clothes, Look First Well Over The Old Ones, And See If You Cannot Shift With Them Another Year, Either By Scouring, Mending, Or Even Patching If Necessary. Remember, A Patch On Your Coat, And Money In Your Pocket, Is Better And More Creditable, Than A Writ On Your Back, And No Money To Take It Off.

He That Steals The Old Man's Supper Does Him No Wrong.

When Befriended, Remember It; When You Befriend, Forget It.

What Vast Additions To The Conveniences And Comforts Of Living Might Mankind Have Acquired, If The Money Spent In Wars Had Been Employed In Works Of Public Utility; What An Extension Of Agriculture Even To The Tops Of Our Mountains; What Rivers Rendered Navigable, Or Joined By Canals; What Bridges, Aqueducts, New Roads, And Other Public Works, Edifices, And Improvements Might Not Have Been Obtained By Spending Those Millions In Doing Good, Which In The Last War Have Been Spent In Doing Mischief.
