Worth Remembering.
All is but lip wisdom that wants experience. Nae man oan be happy without a friend—• nor be sure of him till he’s unhappy. Enjoy our present pleasures so as not to injure those that are to follow.—Seneca. True merit, like the pearl in the oyster, is content to be quiet until au opening comes. True happiness is not the gentle growth of earth ; the toil is fruitless if you seek it here. —Scott. Of all the griefs that harass the distress’d, Sure the most bitter is a scornful jest. —Dr Johnson. We neglect the advantages we have, and think what we should do if we were something else than what we are. The past and the future are veiled; the past wears the widow’s veil, the future the virgin’s.—J ean Paul Richter. For long life there is nothing so good as cheerfulness and a capacity for getting a little innocent fun out of one’s surroundings.
