  1. (continued from previous page)
    No person ever became incurably vicious all at once.
    Prosperity gains friends and adversity tries them.
    We increase our wealth by lessening our desire.
    Dispatch is the soul of business, and method the soul of dispatch.
    By learning how to obey we know how to command
    Extravagence in youth, brings want in old age.
    The highest test of character is the right use of authority.
