Do not hover always on the surface of things, nor take up suddenly, with mere appearances; but penetrate into the depth of matters, as far as your time and circumstances allow, especially in those things which relate to your profession

'Tis the voice of the sluggard; I heard him complain, "You have wak'd me too soon, I must slumber again

I would not change my native land, for rich Peru with all her gold

For Satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do

Let dogs delight to bark and bite, For God hath made them so

I'll not willingly offend, Nor be easily offended; What's amiss I'll strive to mend, And endure what can't be mended

Earth, thou great footstool of our God, who reigns on high; thou fruitful source of all our raiment, life, and food; our house, our parent, and our nurse

A holy reverence checks our speech, And praise sits silent on our tongues

I would not change my blest estate for all the world calls good or great.

Flies, worms, and flowers exceed me still.

Acquire a government over your ideas, that they may come down when they are called, and depart when they are bidden.

At books, or work, or healthy play,/ Let all my years be passed;/ That I may give for every day/ A good account at last.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Learning to trust is one of life's most difficult tasks.

I'll not willingly offend, Nor be easily offended; What's amiss I'll strive to mend, And endure what can't be mended
