It Takes A Great Man To Make

There Is One Statesman Of The Present Day, Of Whom I Always Say That He Would Have Escaped Making The Blunders That He Has Made If He Had Only Ridden More In Buses.

Do Not Shun This Maxim Because It Is Common-place. On The Contrary, Take The Closest Heed Of What Observant Men, Who Would Probably Like To Show Originality, Are Yet Constrained To Repeat. Therein Lies The Marrow Of The Wisdom Of The World.

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.

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.

Infinite Toil Would Not Enable You To Sweep Away A Mist; But By Ascending A Little You May Often Look Over It Altogether.
