The Road To Perseverance Lies By Doubt.

I Wish Thee As Much Pleasure In The Reading, As I Had In The Writing.

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.

Before Thy Undertaking Of Any Design, Weigh The Glory Of Thy Action With The Danger Of The Attempt; If The Glory Outweigh The Danger, It Is Cowardice To Neglect It; If The Danger Exceed The Glory, It Is Rashness To Attempt It; If The Balances Stand Poised, Let Thy Own Genius Cast Them.

Hath Any Wronged Thee? Be Bravely Revenged; Slight It, And The Work Is Begun; Forgive It, And It Is Finished; He Is Below Himself That Is Not Above An Injury.

Even Such Is Man, Whose Glory Lendshis Life A Blaze Or Two, And Ends.
