ANNOTATIONS OF LIFE
Good nature is good business. Being sure is not always being right. Discontent is the want of self-reli-ance—it is the infirmity of will.
To scoff, at natural defcct3 is to beat a poor cripple with his own crutch. The best time to end a quarrel is ■precisely eight seconds before it begins. Never was a home so happy that a scold could not convert it into a Bedlam.
Every day is a new teacher, and it arrives with fresh lessons for all whg are willing to learn. Whatever you undertake in life, master it;, do not play in. its shadows, but enter its depths; take tho open, tho deep sea, and you will at length sail proudly into port.
