Live while you live, the epicure would say,
And seize the pleasures of the passing day!
Live while you live, the sacred preacher cries,
And give to God each moment as it flies!
Lord, in my views let both united be;
I live in pleasure when I live to thee.
--Philip Doddridge.
It is bad to have an empty purse,
But an empty head is a whole lot worse.
--Nixon Waterman.
Shut your mouth, and open your eyes,
And you're sure to learn something to make you wise.
--Nixon Waterman.
