The Worst Use That Can Be Made

I Do Not Know Any Way So Sure Of Making Others Happy As Of Being So Oneself, To Begin With.

Any One Who Is Much Talked Of Be Much Maligned. This Seems To Be A Harsh Conclusion; But When You Consider How Much More Given Men Are To Depreciate Than To Appreciate, You Will Acknowledge That There Is Some Truth In The Saying.

There Are No Better Cosmetics Than A Severe Temperance And Purity, Modesty And Humility, A Gracious Temper And Calmness Of Spirit; And There Is No True Beauty Without The Signatures Of These Graces In The Very Countenance.

We Are Not So Easily Guided By Our Most Prominent Weaknesses As By Those Of Which We Are Least Aware.
