Precepts
«Wisdom to be sure is the great conqueror of Fortune, giving precepts in its sanctified pages; but we also judge those happy who have learned in the school of life how to bear its ills and not buck against the yoke»
«Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: / And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant: / And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.»
«To be free minded and cheerfully disposed at hours of meat and sleep and of exercise is one of the best precepts of long lasting.»
