Have the courage to speak to a friend in a " seedy" coat, even though you are in company with a rich one and richly attired. Have the courage to make a will and a just one. Have the courage to tell a man why you do not lend him your money. Have the courage to show that you respect honesty in whatever guise it appeal's; and your contempt for dishonest duplicity, by whomsoever exhibited. Have the courage to wear your old clothes until you can pay for your new ones. Have the courage to obey your Maker at the risk of being ridiculed by men. Have the courage to prefer comfort and prosperity to fashion in all things.
