May we ever have a sufficiency for ourselves, and a trifle to
spare for our friends.
May we always look forward to better times, but never be
discontented with the present.
May the miseries of war never more have existence in the
world.
May the wing of friendship never moult a feather.
May our artists never be forced into artifice to gain applause
and fortune.
May solid honour soon take place of seeming religion.
May our thoughts never mislead our judgment.
May filial piety ever be the result of a religious education.
May real merit meet reward, and pretension its punishment.
May prosperity never make us arrogant, nor adversity mean.
May we live happy and die in peace with all mankind.
May the unsuspecting man never be deceived.
May noise and nonsense be ever banished from social company.
May the faults of our neighbours be dim and their virtues
glaring.
May industry always be the favourite of Fortune.
May the rich be charitable and the poor grateful.
May the misfortunes of others be always examined at the chart
of our own conduct.
May we never be so base as to envy the happiness of another.
May we live to learn, and learn to live well.
May we be more ready to correct our own faults than to publish
the faults of others.
