Think naught a trifle, though it small appear; Small sands the mountain, moments make the year, And trifles, life. --_Young._ 1147 THE HAPPIEST LIFE. Life's fittest station needs must be Midway between the poor and great: Above the cares of poverty, Below the cares of high estate. --_E. C. Dolson._ 1148 We find life exactly what we put in it. 1149 The sweetest thing in life Is the unclouded welcome of a wife. --_N. P. Willis._ 1150 As we advance in life we learn the limits of our abilities. --_Froude._ 1151 Be ready at all times to listen to others. 1152 A man with an empty stomach is a poor listener. 1153 The only thing certain about litigation is it's uncertainty. --_Bovee._ 1154 Little by little added, if oft done, In small time makes a good possession. --_Hesiod, a Greek, 850 B. C._ 1155 What loneliness is more lonely than distrust? 1156 THE THREE LOOKS. The old man looks down, and thinks of the past. The young man looks up, and thinks of the future. The child looks everywhere, and thinks of nothing. 1157 For 'tis a truth well known to most, That whatsoever thing is lost, We seek it, ere it come to light, In every cranny but the right. --_Cowper._ 1158 Where you are not appreciated, you cannot be loved. 1159 When people fall in love at first sight, they often live to regret that they didn't take another look. 1160 "I'm sorry that I spelt the word, I hate to go above you; Because"--the brown eyes lower fell-- "Because, you see, I love you!" --_John Greenleaf Whittier._ 1161 Where there is love, all things interest; where there is indifference, minute details are tedious, disbelief is cherished, and trifles are apt to be thought contemptible. 1162 If he loves me, the merit is not mine; my fault will be if he ceases. 1163 LOVE. To a man, the disappointment of love may occasion some bitter pangs: it wounds some feelings of tenderness--it blasts some prospects of felicity; but he is an active being; he may dissipate his thoughts in the whirl of varied occupation, or may plunge into the tide of pleasure; or, if the scene of disappointment be too full of painful associations, he can shift his abode at will, and taking, as it were, the wings of the morning, can "fly to the uttermost parts of the earth, and be at rest."
