PHILOSOPHICAL QUOTATIONS.

A man hates faint praise worse than he
hates abuse
There are d great many promising people
who never pay.
It is foolish to say Il man ought to do
what he cannot do.
Many man who is honest enough to
apologize is too stubborn.
The more attention a man pays to the
morals of others the less he pays to his own.
The poor people find more pretty things
in nature than the rich find in the art gal
leries.
1t is often cheaper to be imposed upon
than it is to fight. This fact results in a
great many unfair men.
Bravery is making up your mind when
you have a trouble that you have no right
to make every one else unhappy too.
When a woman gets snubbed she makes
q face and forgets it; Il man smiles rs if he
hadn't noticed it and makes a mental
note that he will get even, which he does.-
