FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
We cannot eat the fruit while the tree
is in blossom.
It is easier to criticise others than to
be correct ourselves.
God created the coquette as soon as
he had made the fool.
To revive faith is more difficult than
to create it.
When the best things are not possible,
the best are made of those that are.
Remembrance is the only paradise
out of which man cannot be driven. _
Contradiction animates conversation;
that is why courts are so wearisome.
The hatred of one’s enemies is the
golden opportunity of Christian charity.
There are men whose friends are
more to be pitted than their worst ene-.
mies.
Grace tried is better than grace, and
it is more than grace; it is glory in its
infancy.
A man may learn infidelity from
books and from men, but never from
nature.
He who lives only to benefit himself
confers upon the world a benefit when
he dies.
True wisdom teaches both how to
seize opportunities and forego advan
tages.
Sorrows are God’s furrows in the
heart where He sows the seed of His
grace.
All nature is a vast symbolism; every
material fact has sheathed within it a
spiritual truth.
Certain critics resemble closely those
people, who, when they would laugh,
show ugly teeth.
In the worst of times there is more
cause to complain of an evil heart than
of an evil world.
Trials and sufferings are only to be
regretted when they have proved too
severe to be borne.
Our chief want in life is somebody
who shall make us do what we can. This
is the service of a friend.
A man’s conscience should be quick,
like the eye, to see, and, like the eyelid,
to shut itself against an evil.
Common sense does not ask an im
possible chess board, but takes the one
before it and plays the game.
Nothing in the world is quite 60 good
as goodness, but it must consist of right
eating rather than glib talking.
Virtue and decency are so nearly re
lated that it is difficult to se, arate them
from each other but in our imagination.
No matter how poor you may be your
income is sufficient to enable you to
keep a hot house during the summer
solstice.
Power, in its tranquility and degree,
is the measure of manhood,schoolarship,
save by accident, is never the measure
of a man’s power.
Honor is but the reflection of a man’s
own actions, shining bright in the face
of all about him, and from thence re
bounding upon himself.
A social order that makes place for
reverence, conscience, self-sacrifice and
love is signed with the sign of the cross.
It is of the kingdom of heaven.
Piety must be habitual, not by fits.
It cannot be put on when Sunday comes,
and discarded when it is over. That
would be the basest kind of hypociisy.
Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes
from the dirty-tobacco pipes of those
who diffuse it; it certainly proves noth
ing but the bad taste of the smoker.
Good-nature is the beauty of the
mind, and, like personal beauty, almost
without anything else—sometimes, in
deed, in spite of possible deficiencies.
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.
If you wish success in life, make per
severance your bosom friend, experience
your wise counsellor, caution your elder
brother, and hope your guardian genius.
One who had lived more than fifty
years said, as the hand of death was
upon him, “I have all my days been
getting ready to live, and now I must
die.”
The Meaning of It.
Would you know the meaning of the
political resolution which struck its
first blow in Ohio in October, and
swept through Pennsylvania, New
York, Massachusetts, and Colorado on
Tuesday last?
It means these four things:
I. Reduced the expenses of every
branch of the federal government to a
basis of simplicity, economy, and hon
esty!
11. Abolish the internal revenue
abomination!
111. Make the tariff simple and ra
tional,and just sufficient to provide for
the wants of an honest and economical
administration in time of peace!
IV. No subsidies, no jobs, and,
above all, no stealing, either by the
administration and its agents, or by
congress and its employees!
This is the meaning and the purpose
of this mighty overturn.
Is the democracy wise enough and
high-minded enough to execute this
peremptory mandate with fidelity and
courage? We shall see. The occasion
is great. And we are happy to add,
the future is hopeful.—V. Y. Sun.
