"One rule to guide us in our life
Is always good and true
Tis do to others as you would
That they should do to you."

"If a task is once begun
Never leave it till it is done
Be the labor great or small
Do it well or not at all"

"If wisdom ways you wisely seek.
Five things observe with care
If whom you speak to whom you speak
And how and when and where."

"Though the mills of God grind slowly
Yet they grind exceeding small.
Though with patience they stand waiting
With exactness grinds he all."

"One by one thy duties wait thee
Let thy whole strength go to each
Let no future dreams elate thee
Learn thou first what these can teach"
