WHAT WISE MEN HAVE SAID.

Beggars should be no chosers.
Life Is too short for mean anxietles.
Aims are but the vehicles of prayer.
A fool must now and then be right by
chance.
No man loveth his letters. be they made
OF gold.
Satan tremhles when he sees the weak
est saint upon his knees.
Hope never spreads her golden wings
but on unfathomable seas.
One hair of woman can draw more
than a hundred pairs OF oxen.
A friend is one who, having gained the
top OF the ladder, won't forget you IL you
remain at the bottom.
The golden moments in the stream OF
life, says George Eliot. rush past us and
We see nothing but sand.
Much of the good or evil that befalis
persons arise from the we'll or III manag-
ing of their conversation
To struggle against friends true courage
is required. IL Is like putting out your
own fire 10 remain in the cold.
A friend Is one who will tell you OF your
faults and follics In prosperity, and assist
you with his hand and heart In adversely.
Many failure TO do ones duty might
be traced TO a failure 20 realize that there
IN never but one duty TO be done at a
time. IA
Examples would. indeed. be excellent
things were not people so modest that
none will set and so vain that none will
follow them.
