If a man has plenty of money, he ought to invest something in everything that appears to promise success, and that will probably benefit mankind; but let the sums thus invested be moderate in amount, and never let a man foolishly jeopardize a fortune that he has earned in a legitimate way by investing it in things in which he has had no experience.英文原著 · 《Life of Hon.

Was the morality which the Church preached likely to be jeopardized because Ruth was a tricky young woman?英文原著 · 《Phyllis of Philistia》
