Beware the fury of a patient man.

Boldness is a mask for fear, 

however great.

Words are but pictures of our thoughts.

He who would search for pearls 

must dive below.

By education most have been misled; 

So they believe, because they were bred. 

The priest continues where the nurse began, 

And thus the child imposes on the man.

But far more numerous 

was the herd of such,

 Who think too little, 

and who talk too much.

We first make our habits, 

and then our habits make us.
