FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
When the best things are not possi
ble the best may be made of those that
are.
To be really and truly independent
is to support ourselves by our own exer
tions.
It is questionable whether any man
quite relishes being mistaken for any
other man.
No sadder proof can be given by. a
man of his own littleness than disbelief
in great men.
All nature is a vast symbolism, every
material fact has sheathed within it a
spiritual truth.
Great ideas travel slowly, and for a
time, noiselessly, as the gods whose feet
were shod with wool.
If you intend to do a mean thing,
wait till to-morrow. If you are to do
a noble thing, do it now.
We judge other's according to results,
how else? not knowing the process by
which results are arrived at.
Our chief want in life is somebody
who shall make us do what we can.
This is the service of a friend.
Nature is a revelation of God, art, a
revelation of man. Indeed, art signifies
no more than this, art is power.
Those who, without knowing us
enough, think ill of us, dous no wrong;
they attack, not us, but the phanton of
their imagination.
It is the mark of a low nature when a
man regarding money as an end, and not
a meaus, and finds his chief delight in
gloating over his gains.
By rousing himself, by earnestness,
by restraint and control, the wise man
may make for himself an island which
no flood can overwhelm.
Not the perversities of others,not their
sins commission or omission, but his
own mis-deeds and negligence, should
a sage take notice of.
Conversation presupposes a common
sympathy in the subject, a great equal
ity in the speakers, absense of egotism,
a tender criticism of what is spoken.
It is the moment when our resolution
seems about to become irrevocable—
when the fatal iron gates are about to
close upon us—that tests our strength.
Employment, which Galen calls
“nature’s physician,” is so essential to
human happiness, that indolence is
justly considered as the mother of mis
ery.
Good thoughts not put into action
are like good seed thrown into the fire,
or like blowing out the flame of a can
dle to let the smoke of reproach punish,
even as the light illuminated.
The sweetest life is to be ever mak
ing sacrifices to Christ; the hardest
life a man can lead on earth, tlio most
full of misery, is to be always doing
his own will and seeking to please him
self.
Just as soon as any conviction of
truth becomes central and vital, there
comes the desire to utter it. Sacrifice
is gladness, service is joy, when such
an idea becomes a commanding power.
Health is the bed-plate on which the
whole mental machinery may rest and
work. If this be cracked, or displaced,
all the mechanism that stand on it will
be jarred and disturbed, and made in
effective.
No manly man will feel anything of
shame in looking back to early strug
gles with adverse circumstances, and
no man feels a worthier pride than
when he has conquered the obstacles in
his progress.
It has always been my observation of
human nature, that a man who has
any reason to believe in himself never
flourishes himself before the face of
other people, in order that they may
believe in him.
A person who is accustomed to speak
with deliberation may sometimes, by a
few words spoken at the right moment,
overthrow an argument and made far
more impression than a multitude of
words without thought.
Console yourself, dear man and
brother, whatever you-may be sure of,
be sure at least of this, that you are
dreadfully like other people. Human
nature has a much greater genius for
sameness than for originality.
"Why do you attack me?” said a
brilliant glow-worm to a vile little in
sect, as ugly as it was venomous.
‘Because you shine so brilliantly.” This
reply is the explanation of a great many
likes and dislikes and rancorous feel
ings.
Whether perfect happiness would be
procured by perfect goodness this world
will never afford an opportunity of
deciding, but this, at least, may be
maintained, that we do not always find
visible happiness in proportion to visi
ble virtue.
The greatest loss of time is delay and
expectation, which depends upon the
future. We let go the present which
we have in our power, and look forward
to that which depends upon change—
and so relinguish a certainty for an
uncertainty.
Such is the power of health that,
without its co-operation, every other
comfort is torpid and lifeless as the
power of vegetation without the sun.
And yet this bliss is commonly
thown away in thoughtlesness on our
strength.
The habits that children form may
be at first largely, if not entirely, con
trolled by those who watch over them.
Tendencies to certain modes of thought
and action are undoutedly inherent,
and constitute the separate individual
ity of each child, but these may be
so encouraged or counteracted as
greatly to increase or diminish their
power.
