"Be thrifty, but not covetous; therefore give Thy need, thine honour, and thy friend his due, Never was scraper brave man. Get to live, Then live, and use it; else it is not true That thou hast gotten. Surely use alone Make money not a contemptible stone." GEORGE HERBERT.
"To catch Dame Fortune's golden smile, Assiduous wait upon her; And gather gear by ev'ry wile That's justify'd by Honour: Not for to hide it in a hedge, Not for a train attendant; But for the glorious privilege Of being Independent." ROBERT BURNS.
