HoMELY MAxiMs.

A great deal of talent is lost to the world because a little cour- age is lacking.
 It will not do any good longing for ten talents if one is not i'm proving the single one intrusted to him.
 Forbearance is domestic jewel, not to be worn for state and show, but for daily and un7 ostentatious ornament
 Real greatness does not depend on the things we do, but on the mind with which we do them.
 The crown of patience cannot be received where there has been no suffering; without contending there can be no conquest
 The present moment is the wave of the ocean of time upon which our life bark rests.
 Many of the shadows that cross our path in life are caused 8 by our standing in our own light.
 Some peoples so called busy lives are nothing after all but an unquiet way of doing nothing
 What we see is not so much what is before our eyes as what lies behind them
