Law and equity are two things
which God hath joined together,
but which man hath put asunder.
Idlenessis the grand pacific ocean
of life, and in that stagnant abyss,
the most salutary things produce
no good, the most noxious no evil.
He that is good, will infallibly
become better, and he that is bad,
certainly become worse; for vice,
virtue and time, are the three things
that never stand still.
When trouble flows upon gou
DARK and heavy, toll not with the
waves, wrestle not with the tor
rent; rather seek, by occupation,
to divert the DARK waters that
threaten to overwhelm you, into a
| thousand channels which the duties
of life always present.
Sam, how do you like that knife ]
sold you last week?' so, SO. It is not
very sharp, yet you managed to shave
me with it."
