One of the natural tendencies of the mortal mind is toward proselyting. The moment we believe something to be true, we begin to try to convert others to our belief. We learn to say, with some degree of realization, “God worketh in me to will and to do of His good pleasure,” but we quite forget that the same God is working equally in our brother “to will and to do.” “I am the door,” says the Christ within every man’s own soul. Now you are trying to have your dear one enter in through your door. He must enter in through his own Christ, his own desire.--_H. Emilie Cady._ You may not be able to leave your children a great inheritance, but day by day you may be weaving coats for them which they will wear through all eternity.--_T. L. Cuyler._ He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.--_Lord Herbert._ We exhaust our strength in our impatience at our work, and the conditions that surround us. There is nothing that comes to us which we could not do easily with true adjustment, but we waste our forces in our worries.--_C. B. Newcomb._ It seems as if heroes had done almost all for the world that they can do; and not much more can come until common men awake and take their common tasks. I believe the common man’s task is the hardest.--_Phillips Brooks._ When we climb to heaven ’tis on the rounds of love to men.--_Whittier._ When you find a person a little better than his word, a little more liberal than his promise, a little more than borne out in his statements by facts, a little larger in deed than in speech, you recognize a kind of eloquence in that person’s utterance not laid down in Blair or Campbell.--_Holmes._ Young man! let the nobleness of your mind impel you to its improvement. You are too strong to be defeated, save by yourself.--_W. D. Howard._ What we earnestly aspire to be, that in some sense we are.--_Anna Jameson._ The mark of the man of the world is absence of pretension. He does not make a speech, he takes a low business tone, avoids all brag, promises not at all, performs much. He calls his employment by its lowest names, and so takes from evil tongues their sharpest weapon.--_Emerson._ “In judging others, weigh carefully the method against the motive. If the latter be pure, be patient and charitable, however different from your own the method may be.” “Refuse to regard as unfortunate the treatment you receive from others; let it stimulate you to deal more justly with yourself and with them.” The strength of affection is a proof not of the worthiness of the object, but of the largeness of the soul which loves.--_F. W. Robertson._ Every flower is a hint of His beauty; every grain of wheat a token of His beneficence; every atom of dust, a revelation of His power. In and through all things He is attracting our regard.--_Furness._ One never speaks of himself except at a loss.--_Montaigne._
