GEMS OF THOUGHT.

If nobody loves you, be sure it is your
own fault.
A rich dress is not worth straw to one
who has a poor mind.
Good temper is like summer day; it
sheds its light upon everything.
We rate ability in men by what they
finish, not by what they attempt.
You may take the greatest trouble, and
by turning it around find joy on the other
side.
Make people happy, and there will not
be half the quarreling or tenth part OF
the wickedness there is.
The greatest events OF an age are its
best thoughts; it is the nature Of thought
to find its way into action.
In every relation of life we must bear
and '9rbear; we must not expect periec'
ton, and each party should carry the
cloak of charity for the other.
The power of applying an attention.
steady and undissipated, to single OBJ
ject, is a sure mark of superior mind.
Those who understand the value oil
time treat it as prudent people do thelI
money; they make little go great
way.
SO long as thou art ignorant, be not
ashamed to learn. Ignorance is the great
est of all infirmities; and when justified,
the chiefest of all follies.
Mankind differ in their notions Of
supreme happiness; but in my opinion he
truly possesses it who lives in the con
scious anticipation of honest fame ano
the glorious figure he shall make in TIN
eyes of posterity.
