The Inevitable Consequence Of Poverty Is Dependence.

This Mournful Truth Is Everywhere Confessed, Slow Rises Worth By Poverty Depressed.

Where Secrecy Or Mystery Begins, Vice Or Roguery Is Not Far Off.

Health Is Certainly More Valuable Than Money, Because It Is By Health That Money Is Procured.

Every Man May Be Observed To Have A Certain Strain Of Lamentation, Some Peculiar Theme Of Complaint On Which He Dwells In His Moments Of Dejection.

Nothing Is More Common Than For Men To Make Partial And Absurd Distinctions Between Vices Of Equal Enormity, And To Observe Some Of The Divine Commands With Great Scrupulousness, While They Violate Others, Equally Important, Without Any Concern, Or The Least Apparent Conciousness Of Guilt. Alas, It Is Only Wisdom Which Perceives This Tragedy.
