Fashion is the plague of wise men, and the idol of fools. Anger may glance into the breast of a wise man, but rests only in the bosom of fools. By taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior. No man has a thorough taste of prosperity to whom adversity never happened. The worst of crosses is never to have had any. A good word is as soon said as a bad one. We should take a prudent care for the future, but so as to enjoy the present. It is no part of wisdom to be miserable to-day, because we may happen to be so to-morrow. No man was ever cast down with the injuries of fortune, unless he had before suffered himself to be deceived by her favours. None more impatiently suffer injuries than those that are most forward in doing them. Though a man may become learned by another's learning, he never can be wise but by his own wisdom. The coin that is most current among mankind is flattery; the only benefit of which is, that by hearing what we are not, we may be instructed what we ought to be. The temperate man's pleasures are durable, because they are regular; and all his life is calm and serene, because it is innocent. The love of gaming will corrupt the best principles in the world. An angry man who suppresses his passions, thinks worse than he speaks; and an angry man that will chide, speaks worse than he thinks. A good word is an easy obligation; but not to speak ill requires only our silence, which costs us nothing. PART III. EXERCISES IN ETYMOLOGICAL PARSING. SECT. I. Etymological Parsing Table.
