Discretion is the perfection of reason and a guide to win all the duties of life.
The virtue of prosperity is temperance.

Industry hath annexed thereto the fairest fruits and richest rewards.
The virtue of adversity is fortitude.
Without economy none can be rich; with it none can be poor.
I like the second one the best, yet the last one intrigues me the most. Which is your favorite? What do you think they mean (especially the last one)? Any idea where they come from?
