Dear Lord; we beg but one boon more: Peace in the hearts of all men living, peace in the whole world this Thanksgiving.

Forgive many things in others; nothing in yourself.

When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.

If fortune favors you do not be elated; if she frowns do not despond.

Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years.

No man pleases by silence; many I please by speaking briefly.
