From a child I was fond of reading, and all the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books. Pleased with the 'Pilgrim's Progress,' my first collection was of John Bunyan's works in separate little volumes.
Honesty is the best policy.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
He that composes himself is wiser than he that composes a book.
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
