EMERsoN's SAYINGS

Happy is a house that shelters
friend!
A friend is a person with whom all
may be sincere.
Society shows not its face and eye,
but its side and back as well.
A friend, therefore is a sort of
paradox in nature.
Better be nettle in the side of
your friend than his echo.
Friends such as we desire are
dreams and fables.
1t is thought a disgrace to love
unrequitted.
Prudence is the virtue of the
senses.
If a man lose his balance and i'm
merse himself in any traces of pleas
ure for their sake, he may be good
wheel or pin, but he is not a cult
waited man.
There is nothing he will not be the
better for knowing.
In skating over thin ice, our safety
is in our speed.
Trust men and they will be true to
you.
Self trust is the essence of heroism.
Half a mans wisdom goes with his
courage.
All life, all creation is a tell-tale
and betraying.
The history of man is a series of
conspiracies to win from Nature ad-
vantage without paying for it.
Before we acquire great power we
must acquire wisdom to use It wei.
A gentleman never lodges.
