WORDS OF WISE MEN

Those whom you cannot make
friends, avoid making enemies.
Nothing Is more dangerous
than a friend without discre-
ton.
Those who shrink from facing
trouble, find that trouble faces
them.
The eternal life, the life OF
faith, is simply the life Of the
higher vision.
The excuse for a blunder is
generally more ridiculous than
the blunder Itself.
