    than the best of walking
    If you have only a goat be in the middle of the fair with it
    Poor are they who have not patience
    Speak correctly if you speak at all
    Words of kindness cost us nothing
    Unless you strive you cannot succeed
    They think little who talk too much
    Nothing worthy is ever lightly won
    Keep alive the spark of conscience
    Good characters make good citizens
    Education is the road to competence
    Be sure you are right then go ahead
    Alway be true to thy work and word.
