Words Of Wisdom
"The almost general mediocrity of
fortune that prevails in America obliging its people to follow some business
for subsistence, those vices, that arise usually from idleness, are in a great
measure prevented. Industry and constant employment are great preservatives of
the morals and virtue of a nation. Hence bad examples to youth are more rare in
America, which must be a comfortable consideration to parents. To this may be
truly added, that serious religion, under its various denominations, is not
only tolerated, but respected and practiced."
