Nearly all of the famous diamonds
of history have record of violence
and sudden death behind them. No

back thousand years or more, and
the myths and legends concerning
them are replete with treachery and

Uprooting Faults

You will find it less easy to uproot
faults than to gain virtues. Do not
think of your faults; still less of 9TH

and as you can, try to initiate it, and
your faults will drop off like dead,
leaves when their time comes.-John

The common fluency of speech in
many men and most women is ow-
ing to scarcity OF matter, and a
scarcity of words: for whoever is
master of language, and hath a
mind full of ideas, will be apt in
speaking to hesitate upon the
choice of both: whereas common
speakers have only one set OF
ideas, and one set Of words to
clothe them in: and these are al
ways ready at the mouth: so PEG.
