FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
He who knows most, grieves most for
wasted time.
Small cheer and great welcome make
a merry feast.
Fortune does not change men; it only
unmasks them.
One hour of justice is worth seventy
years of prayer
Whilst you seek new friendshp, cul
tivate the old.
An idla man is like stagnant water,
he corrupts himself.
We count by changes and events
within us. Not by years.
Every man desires to live long, but
no man would be old.
The milestone of to-morrow leads to
the town of “never.”
True worth is summed up in the
faithful discharge of duty.
Avoid extravagant promises. State
facts, and act up to them.
Those whose courses are different can
not lay plans for one another.
Detestation of the high is the in
voluntary homage of the low.
The greater our dread for crosses the
more necessary they are for us.
A contemplative man can always
employ himself in meditation.
When a man is wrong, and won’t
admit it, he always gets angry.
Success leads to success. One point
gained will continue to accomplish.
Joy, and temperance, and repose,
slam the door on the doctor’s nose.
What matters if one has not gold in
his purse, if he lias it in his heart-
What sculpture is to a block of mar
ble education is to a human soul.
Hypocrisy is the cloak that little
souls wear to conceal their meanness.
Never strike a horse that is pulling
its best, even if the progress is slow.
To select well among old things is
almost equal to inventing new ones.
The doorstep to the temple of wisdom
is a knowledge of our own ignorance.
He who laughs at cruelty sots his
heel on the neck of religion and godli
ness.
A man in any station can do his duty,
and in doing it, can earn his own re
spect.
There cannot be a greater treachery
than to raise a confidence, and then
deceive it.
Save something of what you earn.
Youth and strength are not always our
privileges.
Be not over hasty in making a joar
gain. Study first both the advantages
and disadvantages.
Make yourself an honest man ami
you may be sure there is one rascal less
in the world.
We attract hearts by the qualities we
display; we retain them by the qualities
we possess.
The idle man travels so slow that
even poverty easily overtakes him at the
first turn of the road.
Reason from well-grounded prece
dents, and be not too confident of a
preconceived opinion.
It’s enough for a man to understand
his own business, and not to interfere
with other people’s.
To endeavor to work upon the vulgar
with fine senses is like attempting to
hew blocks with a razor.
Watch for opportunities of useful
ness. Every day brings them, and once
gone they are gone forever.
Self-denial is the most exalted pleas
ure, and the conquest of evil habits is
the most glorious triumph.
In all true work there is something
of divineness. Labor, wide as the earth,
has its summit in heaven.
A calm, quiet, orderly demeanor ac
complishes more than a blistering
tongue and an arrogant attitude.
That kind of religion is likely to he
most popular which does not seriously
interfere with what you intend to do.
Life is not so short but that there is
always time enough for courtesy. Self
command is the main elegance.
How many people would be mute if
they were forbidden to speak well of
themselves and evil of others.
Platonic love is like a march out in
time of peace; there is much music and
a good deal of dust, but no danger.
A fool in high station is like a man
in a balloon—everybody appears little
to him, and he appears little to every
body.
It is easy enough to make sacrifices
for those we love; but for our enemy,
we have to struggle and overcome self.
It is safer to affront some people than
to oblige them; for the better a man de
serves, the worse they will speak of
liim.
Life is a struggle from the cradle to
the grave He is the better prepared
for it who continually considers it in
this light.
The mind profits by the wreck of
every passion, and we may measure our
road to wisdom by the sorrows we have
undergone.
The son of an emir had red hair, of
which he was ashamed, and wished to
dye it, but his father said, “Nay, my
son; better so live that fathers shall
wish their sons had red hair.”
When a man dies they who survive
him ask what property he has left be
hind. The angel who bends over the
dying man asks what good deeds ho has
sent before him.
To think we are able is almost to he
so; to determine upon attainment is
frequently attainment itself. Thus
■earnest resolution has often seemed to
have ah mt it a savor of omnipotence.

cause he had had the management ef it.”
