Some Poems

Never marry but for love but see that thou lovest what is lovely.
Some are so very studious of learning what was done by the ancients that they know not how to live with the moderns.
Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.
Believe nothing against another but on good authority; and never report what may hurt another, unless it be a greater hurt to some other to conceal it.
To do evil that good may come of it is for bunglers in politics as well as morals.
If a civil word or two will render a man happy, he must be a wretch, indeed who will not give them to him. Such a disposition is like lighting another man's candle by one's own, which loses none of its brilliancy by what the other gains.
Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.
Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.
He who is taught to live upon little owes more to his father's wisdom than he who has a great deal left him does to his father's care.
Less judgment than wit is more sail than ballast.
Never marry but for love but see that thou lovest what is lovely.
Some are so very studious of learning what was done by the ancients that they know not how to live with the moderns.
Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.
Believe nothing against another but on good authority; and never report what may hurt another, unless it be a greater hurt to some other to conceal it.
