True wisdom and greatness Of mind
raise a man above the need Of using little
tricks and devices.
Sincerity and honesty carries one
through many difficulties which all the
arts he can invent would never help him
through. for nothing doth q man more
real mischief IN the world than 20 be
/ suspected OF too much craft because
every one stands upon his guard against
him and suspects plots and designs where
there Is none intended, IN so much that
though ne speaks with al the sincerity
that is possible. yet nothing ne says can
be believed.
A wits a feather and a chief a rod:
An honest mans the noblest work OF God.

Nothing causes one person TO lose conf

cerity. The world despises the man whose
statements. however pleasing cannot be
depended upon Such a man soon loses
confidence in himself and loss Of self
confidence generally results In failure

To be sincere through life.
To your own convictions true;
VIII put the pruning knife
To those Unkind to you.
Thereu be no necessity
To prove sincerity divine.
And stranger 20 al treachery
Toward you, and me, and mine.
Sincerity. with bond Of friend,
