“Common sense is the best prophet.”

Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.

Money is the wise man’s religion.

Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.

Prepare yourselves for the roaring voice of the God of Joy!

When a good man is hurt, all who would be called good must suffer with him.

Cleverness is not wisdom.

All men know their children mean more than life.

God hates violence. He has ordained that all men fairly possess their property, not seize it.

Your very silence shows you agree.

Nothing has more strength than dire necessity.

The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.

A bad beginning makes a bad ending.

The day is for honest men, the night for thieves.

The care of God for us is a great thing, if a man believe it at heart: it plucks the burden of sorrow from him.

The company of just and righteous men is better than wealth and a rich estate.

There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its course; a quiet conscience.
