wow of Thought,
A man's conduct is an unspoken
sermon.
All true courtesy springs from the
heart.
A happy fireside is better than a,
big bank account..
We follow example much more
readily than we obey command.
No entertainment is so cheap as
reading nor any pleasure so lasting.
Vigorous minds very rarely sink
into imbecility, even in extreme age.
Be what you are. This is the first
steptoward becoming better than
you are.
An ounce of solid home work is
worth more than a pound of conven-
tion enthusiasm.
In the worst of times there is more
cause to complain of an evil heart
than of an evil world.
