Undated list of adages: G-I; Feb 3, 1847; July 13, 1842

Godliness with Contentment is great Gain
Good manners in a Lad, will make his parents Glad
Great minds & small means ruin many men
Good Humour hath never failing graces
Gods works only are perfect in their Kind
Grief nourished in your breast will never let you rest
Greater profit doth always come of lear[n]ing than of play
Good men are safe when wicked ones are at odds
Get what you can Honestly & use it frugally
God is omnipotent, True and almighty

Hasty resolutions are seldom fortunate
Haste makes waste of paper Ink & time
He that stumbles & falls not minds his pace
Hypocrites first cheats the world & at last themselves
Human life will human frailties have
Honor that is true, is lawful to pursue^pursue
He who sends a fool of an errand ought to follow him
Honors have ^are burdens and riches have wings
He who fears not an oath will not tremble at a lie
Hours fly swiftly away, improve each moment of the day
In praising most sparing be & blame most sparingly
