- Remember well and hark in mind / A faithful friend is hard to find / Titles may set a glass upon our name / But virtue only is the life of fame / Example is a living law whose sway / Men more than all the written laws obey / Know when to speak and silent when to sit / Fool silent often pass for men of wit / The Fear of the Lord / is the beginning of wis / dom. if riches increase / set not thy heart upon / them / (Note: lines from "The Child's Best Instructor") Ann Jordan Oct the 29th A.D. 1742 //
