MAN OF SENSE
—May love with abandon, but not like a
fool.
—May fight recklessly, but he always
counts the cost.
—May take risks, but he does his thinking
beforehand.
—May laugh at difficulties, but he does not
ignore them.
—May seem conservative, but he does not
close his mind.
-May seem slow, but he seldom has to
retrace his steps.
—May seem cautious, but he has fewer
mistakes to apologize for.
THERE COMES A TIME
—When our friendships are our greatest
fortune.
—When a good reputation is priceless.
—When a clear conscience is like the en-
dorsation of heaven.
—When silence is cowardice.
—When faith sees farther than logic.
—When money is about the most helpless
friend we have.
--When prayer semis the most natural
thing in the world.
