Many Estates Are Spent In The Getting,

Wherever Desirable Superfluities Are Imported, Industry Is Excited, And Thereby Plenty Is Produced. Were Only Necessaries Permitted To Be Purchased, Men Would Work No More Than Was Necessary For That Purpose.

If Time Be Of All Things The Most Precious, Wasting Time Must Be, As Poor Richard Says, “the Greatest Prodigality'; Since, As He Elsewhere Tells Us, 'lost Time Is Never Found Again'; And 'what We Call Time Enough Always Proves Little Enough'. Let Us Then Up And Be Doing, And Doing To The Purpose; So By Diligence Shall We Do More With Less Perplexity.

... There Is Much Truth In The Italian Saying, 'make Yourselves Sheep, And The Wolves Will Eat You.'

Since Thou Are Not Sure Of A Minute, Throw Not Away An Hour.

One Day Is Worth A Thousand Tomorrows.
