Selfishness, When It Is Punished

Men Of Much Depth Of Mind Can Bear A Great Deal Of Counsel; For It Does Not Easily Deface Their Own Character, Nor Render Their Purposes Indistinct.

Offended Vanity Is The Great Separator In Social Life.

There Are Few Who Would Need Advisers, If They Were Only Accustomed To Appeal To Themselves In Their Calmest, Holiest Moments. If, When Embarrassed With Doubt As To Any Course Of Action, They Would Turn Aside From The Immediate Tumult Of The World, And From The Vain Speaking Of Those Who "darken Counsel By Words Without Knowledge;" And Would Then Commune With Their Hearts Alone, At Night, The Heavens Their Silent Counsellors, They Would Act Not Always In Accordance With The Wise Men Of This World, But With That Wisdom Which Bringeth Peace.

It Requires A Strong Mind To Bear Up Against Several Languages. Some Persons Have Learnt So Many, That They Have Ceased To Think In Any One.

Nature Intended You To Be The Fountain-spring Of Cheerfulness And Social Life, And Not The Mountain Of Despair And Melancholy.
