To be open to argument, and to be open to

DO not ask if man has been through col
lego. Ask if a college has been through MIN !;
If he is 4 walking university.
We may have many acquaintances, but We
can have but few friends; this made Aristotle
say that he that hnth many friends hath none.
1t is one Of the beautiful compensations Of
this life that no one can sincerely try to help
another without helping himself.
1t is with narrow-souled people Us it is with
nar1ow- w-neckcd bottles-the less they have in
them, the more noise they make in pouring it
out.
"A man can never do anything at variance
with his OWL nature. He carries within him the
germ Of his most exceptional action; and it we
wise people make eminent fools Of ourselves On
any particular occasion, ne must endure the
legitimate conclusion that we carry &. few grains
OF folly to our ounce Of wisdom.
To resist temptation once is not q sufficient
proof Of honesty. If servant, indeed were to
resist the continued temptation OF silver lying
IN window, as some people let it Lie, when he
is sure his master does not know how much there
is Of it, he would give strong proof Of honesty.
But this is proof to which you have no right to
put 8 man. You know. humanity speaking. there
is q certain degree Of temptation which will
overcome any virtue. Now, in SO far as you ap-
proach temptation to q man, you DO him an in-
jury, and, If he is overcome, you share his guilt.
