Above all subjects, study thine own
self; for no knowledge that terminates in
curiosity or speculation is comparable 10
that which is of use; and of all useful
knowledge, that is most SO which consists
in the true care and notions of ourselves
This study is a debt which every one owes
himself Let us not then be so lavish, SO
unjust as not to pay this debt; by spend
ing some time at least, if we cannot all, or
most Of our time and care, upon that which
has the most ndeniable claim TO it. Gov
ern your passions, manage your actions
with prudence, and, where false steps have
been made, correct them for the future.
Let nothing be allowed to grow headstrong
or disorderly; but bring all under disci-
pline. Set all you faults before your eyes,
and pass sentence On yourself, with the
same severity as you would do upon an
other, for whom no partiality hath biased
your judgment.
