One Rarely Does Well What One Rarely

God Will Either Shield You From Suffering Or Give You Unfailing Strength To Bear It.

You Can Attract More Bees With A Spoonful Of Sugar Than A Cupful Of Vinegar.

It Is The Mark Of A Mean, Vulgar And Ignoble Spirit To Dwell On The Thought Of Food Before Meal Times Or Worse To Dwell On It Afterwards, To Discuss It And Wallow In The Remembered Pleasures Of Every Mouthful. Those Whose Minds Dwell Before Dinner On The Spit, And After On The Dishes, Are Fit Only To Be Scullions.

The Highest Point Of Humility Consists In Not Merely Acknowledging One's Abjection, But In Taking Pleasure Therein, Not From Any Want Of Breadth Or Courage, But To Give The More Glory To God's Divine Majesty, And To Esteem One's Neighbour More Highly Than One's Self.

If, When Stung By Slander Or Ill-nature, We Wax Proud And Swell With Anger, It Is A Proof That Our Gentleness And Humility Are Unreal, And Mere Artificial Show.
