O be ever active in laudable purfuits, is the diftinguishing characteristic of a man of merit. THERE is an heroic innocence, as well as an heroic courage. THERE is a mean in all things. Even virtue itfelf hath its ftated limits; which not being ftrictly obferved, it ceafes to be virtue. Ir is wifer to prevent a quarrel beforehand, than to revenge it afterwards. Ir is much better to reprove, than to be angry fecretly. No revenge is more herioc, than that which torments envy, by doing good. THE difcretion of a man deferreth his anger, and it is his glory to pass over a tranfgreffion. MONEY, like manure, does no good till it is fpread. There is no real ufe of riches, except in the diftribution; the reft is all conceit. |
