Boys flying kites haul in their white winged birds, You can’t do that way when you’re flying words. Thoughts unexpressed may sometimes fall back dead, But God himself can’t stop them when they’re said. --_Will Carleton._ Mould conditions aright, and men will grow good to fit them.--_Horace Fletcher._ Pride Is littleness; he who feels contempt For any living thing hath faculties Which he has never used. --_Wordsworth._ Treat your friends for what you know them to be. Regard no surfaces. Consider not what they did, but what they intended.--_Henry D. Thoreau._ Small kindnesses, small courtesies, small considerations, habitually practiced in our social intercourse, give a greater charm to the character than the display of great talent and accomplishments.--_Kelty._ I believe that the mind can be profaned by the habit of attending to trivial things, so that all our thoughts shall be tinged with triviality.--_Henry D. Thoreau._ Don’t hang a dismal picture on the wall, and do not daub with sables and glooms in your conversation. Don’t be a cynic and disconsolate preacher.--_Emerson._ No good thing is failure and no evil thing success.--_W. C. Gannett’s favorite proverb._ Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how to do it, and Virtue is doing it. --_David Starr Jordan._ Always laugh when you can; it is a cheap medicine. Merriment is a philosophy not well understood. It is the sunny side of existence.--_Byron._ If we are not responsible for the thoughts that pass our doors, we are at least responsible for those we admit and entertain.--_Charles B. Newcomb._ Not for the crying, Not for the loud beseeching Will peace draw near. Rest with palms folded, Rest with thine eyelids fallen, Lo! peace is here. --_E. R. Sill._ Would you remain always young, and would you carry all joy and buoyancy of youth into your maturer years? Then have care concerning but one thing--how you live in your thought world.--_R. W. Trine._ Lord, for to-morrow and its needs I do not pray, Help me from stain of sin Just for to-day. Let me both diligently work And duly pray, Let me be kind in word and deed Just for to-day. Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey, Help me to sacrifice myself Just for to-day. Let me no wrong or idle word Unthinking say, Put Thou Thy seal upon my lips Just for to-day. So for to-morrow and its needs I do not pray, But keep me, guide me, hold me, Lord, Just for to-day. --_Canon Farrar._
