- (continued from previous page)Denying a fault doubles it.Foolish fear doubles danger.God teaches us good things by our own hand.Learning makes a man fit company for himself.One hour to-day is worth two
to-morrow.Quiet conscience is quiet sleep.The boughs that bear most hang lowest.Richest is he that wants least.Upright walking is sure walking."Virtue" and happiness are mother and daughter.It cost more to revenge wrongs that to suffer them.Some faults indulged are little thieves that let in greater ones.Proud looks make foul work in fair faces.Modesty is a guard to virtue.He has worked hard who has nothing to do.A grain of prudence is worth a pound of craft.Envy shoots at others and wounds herself.Marry Monday for wealth.
Tuesday for health.
Wednesday the best day of all.
Thursday for crosses.
Friday for losses.
Saturday no luck at all.- Collector
