Life Though A Short, Is A Working

Since Trifles Make The Sum Of Human Things, And Half Our Misery From Our Foibles Springs; Since Life's Best Joys Consist In Peace And Ease, And Though But Few Can Serve, Yet All May Please; On, Let Th' Ungentle Spirit Learn From Hence, A Small Unkindness Is A Great Offence.

The Ingenuity Of Self-deception Is Inexhaustible.

In Grief We Know The Worst Of What We Feel But Who Can Tell The End Of What We Fear?

When You Are Disposed To Be Vain Of Your Mental Acquirements, Look Up To Those Who Are More Accomplished Than Yourself, That You May Be Fired With Emulation; But When You Feel Dissatisfied With Your Circumstances, Look Down On Those Beneath You, That You May Learn Contentment.

Where Evil May Be Done, It Is Right To Ponder; Where Only Suffered, Know The Shortest Pause Is Much Too Long.
