Occasional Reflections, Offered Principally for the Use of Schools (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Occasional Reflections, Offered Principally for the Use of Schools

Anger is a real approach to insanity. All who swim in sin, must sink in sorrow. A virtuous mind loathes flattery. A will subdued prepares for good. A good end warrants not the use of bad means. A vain mind is dangerously ill. Asseveration does not always remove doubt. An evil mind is naturally suspicious. A blank is better than a falsehood. Anger should never punish. Avoid all affectation. A bad example is infectious Avoid hasty promises. Avarice is insatiable. Assert with caution.

Ambition is the torch of discord. A faithful friend is invaluable.

A good man's talk is in his walk A man of sense declines offence. Anger restrained, is conquest gained. All is not gained that is gathered. Accustom thyself to method. A good education is a fair portion. A Judge is guilty Who connives at A covetous person is always in want. Adversity is the criterion of friendship. Atale-bearer is the hawker of mischief. VA dangerous coast requires a skilful pilot. Dance seldom lessens our wants. A Well-spent day prepares for sweet repose. A quiet conscience is the balm of life. A frugal plenty marks the wise man' s board.
