Never put off til tomorrow what you can do today.
Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
Never spend your money before you have it.
Never buy what you do not want, because it is cheap; it will be dear to you.
Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold.
We have never repent having eaten too little.

Take things always by their smooth handle.
When angry, count ten, before you speak; if very angry an hundred.
