As you cannot overtake time, the best way is to be always a few minutes
before him.
Whatever your situation in life may be, lay down your plan of conduct
for the day. The half hours will glide smoothly on, without crossing or
jostling each other.
When you set about a good work, do not rest till you have completed it.
In the morning, think on what you are to do in the day, and at night,
think on what you have done.
Religion is the best armour, but the worst cloak.
If you make an intentional concealment of any thing in a court of
judicature, it will lie like lead upon your conscience all the days of
your life.
Do as you wish to be done by. Follow this rule, and you will need no
force to keep you honest.
