The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing and for whom you care as little. STANISLAUS. Nor Fame I slight, nor for her favors call; She comes unlooked for, if she comes at all. ALEXANDER POPE—In _The Temple of Fame_. So long as we love, we serve. ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON. Happiness can be attained only by considering the good of others as our own. TOLSTOI. Love gives itself to others, and inclines to extremest sacrifice. TOLSTOI. To give up seeking one’s own happiness, as animals, is the true law of the life of humanity. TOLSTOI. When we help someone else, we add to our own resources and power. DR. EUGENE UNDERHILL.

CLARA BARTON. Reserve your energies, doing those little things that be in your way, each as well as you can, so that when God shall call you to do something good and great you will be ready to do the work quickly and well. CLARA BARTON. We question whether there has been any man or woman in the whole world’s history who has been a greater blessing to mankind than Clara Barton. _Topeka Daily Journal._
