Five Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards

Theologian Jonathan Edwards made five resolutions in his youth and lived by then faithfully.

1. Live with all my might while I do live. (He died at 55.)

2. Never lose one moment of time, but improve it in the most profitable way possible.

3. Never do anything I should despise or think meanly of in another.

4. Never do anything out of revenge.

5. Never do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.
