That Is Perfection


Perfection does not consist in
doing singular things; but it does
consist in doing common things
singularly well.
A man who knows that his hard
ships made the best part of his
character may not want his son
to have hardships.
Always be sure your friends can
grant the favor before you ask it;
then there won't be the pain and
embarrassment of refusal.
Admitting our faults is half way
to correcting them; but the LATEST
half.
Those That Tried
Failures are facts that prove a
nan has at least actually tried to
be successful.
Poise is something that keeps
one from speaking too suddenly.
The sophisticated person finds
little to enjoy. Everything is old
to him.
If you want to make your friend
happy instead of seeking to have
him make you happy, that's the
true gold.
Don't Live for Less
Never allow yourself to live for
anything less than your highest
ideal. If you do, you will deterio-
rate.
ALI friendships between men are
based ON the fact that the two are
somehow happy in each others
company.
