Notes
The unattributed maxim had been floating around multiple miscellanies in the 18th century. The passage has since been attributed to George Shelley. Possibly copied from the miscellany collection, "The Rule of Life: In select Sentences, Collected from The Greatest Authors, Ancient and Modern."
