He that lives with cripples learns to
limp. H
A hedge between keeps friendship
green. . 1
Truth and oil always come to the
surface.
If the wind blows it enters at every
creyice.
Overmuch familiarity spoils good
courtesy.
Talking comes by nature; silence, of
understanding. .... s
Never trust much to a new friend or !
an old enemy.
The wolf changes his coat, but not
his disposition. ..
Enjoy your little while the fool is
seeking for more.
Old times are sweetest, and. old (
friends are surest. .#
Wit is folly, unless wise man hath
the keeping of it. .a
1t is not the hen which cackles most.
that lays most eggs. !:
He sins as much who holds the sack
as he who puts into it. 60
Seta frog on a golden stool, and off 3
it hops again into the pool.
He who is everybody's friend is eli
ther very poor or very rich. &
With patience and time the mulber- }
ry leaf becomes silk gown.
A mans folly is his worst foe, and
his discretion his best friend. @
1t is better to be able to say '.no''
than to be able to read Latin. IS
No man is wise enough, nor good I
enough, to be trusted with unlimited 4
power. 81.
Eie that has little knowledge is far
more likely to get more than he that {
has none.
They who would be young when
they are old must be old when they
are young. ..s-i.
A friend cannot be known in pros
perity, and an enemy cannot be hid
den in adversely.
There would be less envy if we
would consider not what others possess
but what they enjoy. r
1t is best to deceive no one-for he
who begins by deceiving others ends
ny deceiving himself
For one man who sincerely pities 1,
our misfortuues, there are thousand
who sincerely hate our success.
Some read to think, these are rare;
some to write, these are common; and
some read to talk, and these form the :
great majority.
Happiness is like the mama in the
desert he that gathered much had :
nothing over, and he that gathered lit
tie had no lack.
Some there are who profess to de-
spise all fiattery; but even these are
nevertheless to be fattered by being
told that they do despise it.
The glory of Peace will live
In everlasting bloom.
The glory Of War expires
Forever, in the tomb. N
That which we acquire with the !
most difficulty, we retain the longest:
as those who have earned fortune are
usually more careful of it than those
who have inherited one. =:
TITS the doubt In the heart that unnerves the
hand?
TO The arm OF a child, that would trust me all.
With never doubt of what would befall,
could give the strength and the courage and
or the mlghtIest angel that does my will"
The sense of right can more readily
indurate the tender than melt the
rocky soul, and that is the most finish
ed character which begins in beauty
and ends in power; that leans on: the
love Of kindred while it may, and
when it may not canl stand erect in
the love of God; that shelters itself
amid the domesticities of life while
duty wills, and when it forbids can go
forth under the expanse of immortal
ity. and face any storm that beats, and
traverse any wilderness that lies be-
meath that canopy.
CPL never do that again." as the,
monkey said when he fell from the top
of the mango tree and broke his back
in the fall.
