_Misers._--If I knew a miser, who gave up every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens, for the sake of accumulating wealth; "Poor Man," I would say, "you pay too much for your whistle." --_Benj. Franklin._ 1370 No thoroughly occupied man was ever miserable. --_Dutch._ 1371 'Tis time enough to bear a misfortune when it comes without anticipating it. --_Seneca._ 1372 Learn never to repine at your own misfortunes, or to envy the happiness of others. 1373 Any man may make a mistake; none but a fool will stick to it. --_Cicero._ 1374 Better a mistake avoided, than two corrected. 1375 I will not quarrel with a slight mistake, Such as our nature's frailty may excuse. --_Roscommon._ 1376 There are few, very few, that will own themselves in a mistake. --_Swift._ 1377 No lessons are so impressive as those our mistakes teach us. 1378 Young heads are giddy, and young hearts are warm, And make mistakes for manhood to reform. --_Young._ 1379 People seldom improve when they have no other model but themselves to copy after. --_Goldsmith._ 1380 MODERATION. He that holds fast the golden mean, And lives contentedly between The little and the great, Feels not the wants that pinch the poor, Nor plagues that haunt the rich man's door. --_Cowper._ 1381 THE CHARM OF MODULATION. 'Tis not enough the voice be sound and clear, 'Tis modulation that must charm the ear. 1382 The abundance of money ruins youth. 1383 I almost grow to believe there is a sort of curse on money which is not earned, even when it is bestowed by father on son or daughter. It cripples individual development, and I think only when it is earned is it blest. 1384 A' complain o' want o' siller (money): nane o' want o' sense. --_Scotch._ 1385 Your money cannot change your blood, Although you strut as though it could. 1386 A MONEY-LENDER. He serves you in the present tense; He lends you in the conditional mood; Keeps you in the subjunctive; And is apt to ruin you in the future! --_Addison._ 1387 The love of money is the root of much devotion. 1388 A man's money is either his master or his slave. 1389 Money doesn't make happiness. There is many a heart-ache behind plenty of money! --_Nettie S. Murphy._ 1390
