He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.
In the long run, every man will pay the penalty for this own misdeeds.
As in walking it is your great care not to run your foot upon a nail, or to tread awry, and strain your leg; so let it be in all the affairs of human life, not to hurt your mind or offend your judgment. And this rule, if observed carefully in all your deportment, will be a mighty security to you in your undertakings.
Every habit and faculty is preserved and increased by correspondent actions, as the habit of walking, by walking; of running, by running.
