n UKeepgood company ornone. Never
be idle. If your hands cannot be usefully
employed, attend to the cultivation of your
mind. Always speak the truth. Make few
promises. Live up to your engagements.
Keep your own secrets if you have any.
When you speak to person, look him
In the face. Good company and good
conversation are sinews of virtue. Good
character is above all things else. Your
character cannst be essentially injured
except by your own acts. If any one
speak evil of you, let your life be 50 that
none will believe him. Drink no kind OF
intoxicating liquors. Ever live, (mis-
fortunes excepted within your income.
When you retire to bed, think over what
you have been doing during the day.
Make no haste TO be rich if you would
prosper. Small and steady gains give
competency with tranquility Of mind.
Never play at game of chance. Avoid
temptation; through fear you may not
withstand it. Earn money before you
spend it. Never run into debt unless
you see way to get out again. Never
borrow, If you can possibly avoid it. Do
no not marry until you are able to sup
port wife. Never speak evil of any one.
Be just before you are generous. Keep
yourself innocent if you would be happy.
Save when you are young to spend when
you are old. Read over the above maxims
at least once q week.
