Learn before you speak. Take care of your health before you become sick. Examine yourself before you go before the court; then you will find mercy in the hour. Humble yourself before God, and turn and repent after a sin. Do not wait until just before your death to pay your vow. Think on the wrath of God, who is coming in the end. In the days of fullness, remember that you will be hungry again. When you are rich, remember that you may be poor again. For everything can change before the evening, and be different than it was in the morning. So quickly does everything change before God.
