Bad men excuse their faults, good men will leave them.
BEN JONSON

Keep company with the good and you will be one of them.
CERVANTES

From the lowest depths there is a path to the loftiest heights. CARLYLE

Good luck will help a man over the ditch, if he jumps hard. SPURGEON

I would rather be right than be president of the United States. - HENRY CLAY

[ocr errors]

It is well to think well; it is divine to act well.

HORACE MANN

One cannot always be a hero, but one can always be a man.

GOETHE

Self-conquest is the greatest of victories. - PLATO
To read without reflection is like eating without digesting.

Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Prosperity makes friends; adversity tries them.

BURKE

BIBLE

PACUVIUS

The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder. CARLYLE

Do the duty that lies nearest thee which thou knowest to be a duty. Thy second duty will already have become clearer. CARLYLE

A grateful mind is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all other virtues. CICERO

God has two dwellings: one in heaven and the other in a meek and thankful heart. IZAAK WALTON

[ocr errors]

The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt till they are too strong to be broken. SAMUEL JOHNSON

I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires rather than in attempting to satisfy them.

JOHN STUART MILL

He lives long who lives well; time misspent is not lived but lost. - FULLER

To look up and not down, to look forward and not back, to look out and not in, and to lend a hand. E. E. HALE

Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it each day, and it becomes so strong we cannot break it. — HORACE MANN

We grow like what we think of; so let us think of the good, the true, and the beautiful. PHILLIPS BROOKS

If you wish your neighbors to see what God is like, you must let them see what He can make you like.

CHARLES KINGSLEY

He who is false to present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and he will find the flaw when he may have forgotten its cause. BEECHER

There are no fragments so precious as those of time, and none so heedlessly lost by people who cannot make a moment, and yet can waste years. - JAMES MONTGOMERY

I shall pass this way but once. Any good thing therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. GILPIN

[ocr errors]

A good character is the finest essential in a man. It is, therefore, highly important to endeavor not only to be learned, but virtuous. - GEORGE WASHINGTON

Pride slays thanksgiving, but an humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves. BEECHER

There is no duty the fulfillment of which will not make you happier, nor any temptation for which there is no remedy.

SENECA

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork. - BIBLE

Honesty is the best policy; but he who acts on that principle is not an honest man. - ARCHBISHOP WHATELY

Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal. The winner is he who gives himself to his work, body and soul. - BUXTON

The great secret of success in life is for a man to be ready when his opportunity comes. - DISRAELI

The lives of men who have been always growing are strewed along their whole course with the things they have learned to do without. PHILLIPS BROOKS

[ocr errors]

Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody. LONGFELLOW

We ought to hear at least one little song every day, read a good poem, see a first-rate painting, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.. - GOETHE

All true work is sacred; for in all true work, were it but true hand-labor, there is something of divineness. Labor, wide as the earth, has its summit in heaven. CARLYLE

Be such a life, live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be a paradise. PHILLIPS BROOKS

Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive!
Have more than thou showest,
Speak less than thou knowest.

SCOTT

SHAKESPEARE

LONGFELLOW

Act, act in the living Present,
Heart within, and God o'erhead.
Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men decay.

Dare to be true: nothing can need a lie;

[ocr errors][merged small]

A fault which needs it most grows two thereby.— HERBERT

All seems infected that th' infected spy,

As all looks yellow to the jaundiced eye. - POPE

Count that day lost whose low descending sun

Views from thy hand no worthy action done. — ANONYMOUS

Howe'er it be, it seems to me,

'Tis only noble to be good;

Kind hearts are more than coronets,

And simple faith than Norman blood.

True dignity abides in him alone,

Who, in the patient hour of silent thought,
Can still respect and still revere himself.

So nigh is grandeur to our dust,

So near is God to man,

When Duty whispers low, "Thou must,"

The youth replies, "I can!"-EMERSON

TENNYSON
