WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

xYOU can't kill time'-you
/ can waste 1t.
Truth, like a diamond. ever
loves the light.
Negative virtues are good
positive virtues are better.
Obedience to the laws Of nature
brings health and wealth.
When a man asks you your
opinion he wants you to confirm
his.
When we are on the wrong
road the further we go the further
we fall behind.
There is often a wrong way to
do right, but never a right way
to do wrong.
The talent Of success is moth
ing more than doing what you
can do well, and doing well what
ever you do, without q thought
of fame.
To tell our own secrets Is gen.
orally folly, but that folly is with
out guilt. To communicate those
with which we are entrusted is
always treachery.
Nothing is more silly than the
pleasure some people take in
speaking their minds" A man
of this make will say a rude
thing for the mere pleasure of
saying it, when an opposite be-
havior might have preserved his
friend Of made his fortune.
In all ordinary cases we see
intuitively at first view, what is
our duty, what Is the honest
part. In these cases doubt or
elaboration is of itself dishon-
esty.
Consult your friends on all
things, especially on those which
respect yourself. His counsel may
then be useful, where your own
self-love might impair your judg-
ment.
