s..hich is worth keeping.
Fight hard against hasiy temper. An
Ger will come, but resist il strongly. A
spark may set house on fire. 4 fit OF
passion may give yon cause 10 mourn all
the days of your life. Never revenge an
injury.
If you have an enemy, act kindly to
him, and make him your friend. You
may not win him over at once, but try a.
gain. Let one kindness be followed by
another, ill you have compassed your
end. By little and little, great things are
completed and so repeated kindness will
soften heart of stone.
Whatever you do, do it willingly. A
boy that is whipped TO school never learns
his lesson well. A man that is compel
led TO work, never cares how badly II is
performed. He that pulls OFF his coat
cheerfuly, strips up his sleeves in earn
est, and sings while he works, is the man
for me.
Evil thoughts are worse enemies than
lions and tigers; for we can keep out OF
the way Of wild beasts, but bad thoughts
win their way everywhere. The cup
that is full will hold no mOre--keep your
heads and hearts full Of good thoughts
that bad thoughts may find no room to en-
ter.
