Give thy thoughts no tongue.

Follow thy fair sun, unhappy shadow.

Honor thy error as a hidden intention.

Into thy hands, O Lord. Into thy hands.

To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.

Tomorrow do thy worst, I have lived today.

If thy heart fails thee, climb not at all.

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.

Let bravery be thy choice, but not bravado.

To God, thy country, and thy friend be true.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Have thy tools ready. God will find thee work.

Let age, not envy, draw wrinkles on thy cheeks.

Without saying word to anybody, cover thy face.

Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure.

Make hunger thy sauce, as a medicine for health.

I never see thy face but I think upon hell-fire.

Deceive not thy physician, confessor, nor lawyer.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

For thy sake, tobacco, I would do anything but die.

Burn not thy fingers to snuff another man's candle.

Control thy passions lest they take vengence on thee.

Be ignorance thy choice, where knowledge leads to woe.

Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.

Tell me thy company, and I'll tell thee what thou art.

Thou hast no sorrow in thy song, no winter in thy year.

Wit thou well that I will not live long after thy days.

Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not.

Know thy history. Let it horrify you; let it inspire you.

Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last.

Drown in a cold vat of whiskey? Death, where is thy sting?

Dream manfully and nobly, and thy dreams shall be prophets.

Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?

It is the hour to rend thy chains, The blossom time of souls.

God, I can push the grass apart and lay my finger on Thy heart.

Teach thy tongue to say 'I do not know', and thou shalt progress.

If thou wouldst conquer thy weakness, thou must never gratify it.

Therefore trust to thy heart, and to what the world calls illusions.

Blue thou art, intensely blue; Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue?

Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing, Thanks for mercies past received.

Thy fate is the common fate of all; Into each life some rain must fall.

Redeem thy misspent time that's past, And live this day as if thy last.

Plant thy foot firmly in the prints which His foot has made before thee.

Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, for there are plenty of others.

Throw away thy rod, throw away thy wrath; O my God, take the gentle path.

Essentially, pride is a 'my will' rather than 'thy will' approach to life.

Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessities.

How blunt are all the arrows of thy quiver in comparison with those of guilt.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
