Those who, in the confidence of superior capabilities or attainments, neglect the common'" maxims of life, should be reminded that nothing will supply the want of prudence.—Samuel Johnson. The divine ruling gives prudence and energy; it banishes forever all envy, rivalry, evil thinking, evil speaking and acting; and mortal mind thus purged, obtains peace and power outside of itself. —Mary Baker Eddy. The greatest good is prudence; a more precious thing even than philosophy; from it spring all the other virtues. —Epicurus. Let prudence always attend your pleasures; it is the way to enjoy the sweets of them, and not be afraid of the consequences—Jeremy Collier.
