_Legitimate Sport_--Those who fish for compliments deserve to get a bite. 345 To attempt to advise conceited people is like whistling against the wind. --_Hood._ 346 Never seem wiser, nor more learned, than the people you are with. 347 I've never any pity for conceited people, because I think they carry their comfort about with them. 348 Conceit may puff a man up, but never prop him up. --_Ruskin._ 349 Many persons are obliged to their imagination for more than three-fourths of their importance. 350 Discuss your plans with many, decide on them with few, or by yourself. 351 Between right and wrong never waver a moment. --_From the German._ 352 Confidence always gives pleasure to the man in whom it is placed. 353 No one so sure but he may miss. --_Dutch._ 354 Don't cry hurrah till you are over the bridge. --_From the German._ 355 Confidence is a plant of slow growth in an aged bosom. --_Wm. Pitt._ 356 He who knows the road, can ride at full trot. --_From the Italian._ 357 Never put much confidence in those who put no confidence in others. --_Hare._ 358 A good conscience is sometimes sold for money, but never bought with it. 359 Money dishonestly acquired is never worth its cost, while a good conscience never costs as much as it is worth. 360 A clear conscience is a good pillow. --_Kingsley._ 361 A quiet conscience makes one so serene! 362 Conscience is the chamber of justice. --_Origen._ 363 Conscience may be said to be the voice of God within us. --_Aughey._ 364 Conscience, that sound of God in the human heart, whose "still small voice" the loudest revelry can not drown. --_W. H. Harrison._ 365 _Consistency_--Thou art a jewel! 366 Is there no constancy in earthly things? No happiness in us, but what must alter? 367 Do even as you will, that this dispute live not between us as a consuming fire forever! 368 CONTENTION--AVOIDING OF. Where two discourse, if the one's anger rise, The man who lets the contest fall is wise. --_Plutarch._ 369 "I never complained of my condition but once," said an old man, "when my feet were bare and I had no money to buy shoes; but I met a man without feet, and became contented." 370 It is right to be contented with what we have, but never with what we are. --_Sir James Mackintosh._
