Handle Your Tools Without Mittens.

Trouble Springs From Idleness.

Be At War With Your Vices, At Peace With Your Neighbors, And Let Every New Year Find You A Better Man.

Innocence Is Its Own Defense.

Friends And Neighbors Complain That Taxes Are Indeed Very Heavy, And If Those Laid On By The Government Were The Only Ones We Had To Pay, We Might The More Easily Discharge Them; But We Have Many Others, And Much More Grievous To Some Of Us. We Are Taxed Twice As Much By Our Idleness, Three Times As Much By Our Pride, And Four Times As Much By Our Folly.

Nor Is It Of Much Importance To Us To Know The Manner In Which Nature Executes Her Laws; 'tis Enough To Know The Laws Themselves.
