Thoughts to ponder

Back in July when Mark and I toured the Parliament building in Victoria, British Columbia, we took pictures of the stained glass windows inside that beautiful, massive old structure. It seemed like each one offered some sage advice, and I thought I might share a few of them with you today. Some of the sayings made my brain hurt as I tried to figure them out. Anyway, food for thought!
"Discretion is the perfection of reason and a guide to win all the duties of life"
"The virtue of prosperity is temperance"
"Great effects come of industry and perseverance"
"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"
