To Judge for ones self is the privi-
lege of but few; authority and example
lead the rest. They see with others
eyes, and hear with others ears. Hence,
it is very easy to think as all the world
is now thinking; but to think as all
the world will thirty years hence, is not
everybody's buslness.-Sch0peRhdUer.
IT Is THE grandeur of all truth which
can occupy very high place in human
interests, that it is very absolutely
novel to the meanest of minds; it exists
externally by way of germ or latent
principle in the lowest as well as the
highest, needing to be developed, but
never to be planted De Quincey
To BE of no church is dangerous.
Religion, of which the rewards are dis
tant, and which is animated only by
faith and hope, will glide by degrees
out OF the mind unless it be inyigorated
and re-impressed by external ordinan-
ces, BY stated calls to worship, and the
salutary influences of example. -SuHt-
Uct Johnson.
How foolish it is to imagine that the
earnest study of means cripples the
genius 1t is only from mastery of
them that free creative power can en-
anate; it is only when familiar with all
the paths which have already been
trodden, and moving with ease in them,
that the mind can discover new ones. -
{ ". Ioa Weber.
The illusion of past golden age is
one OF the greatest hindrances to the
approach of the golden age that should
come. If the golden age is passed it is
not genuine Gold cannot rust or de-
cay; 1t comes out Of all admixtures
and all decompositions pure and indie
structible. If the golden age will not
endure, it had better never arise, for it
can produce nothing but elegies on its
loss. -Schiegel
