There Is So Much Goodness

No One Can Expect A Majority To Be Stirred By Motives Other Than Ignoble.

Never Take A Solemn Oath. People Think You Mean It.

There Is So Much Goodness In Real Life- Do Let Us Keep It Out Of Our Books.

What Is All Wisdom Save A Collection Of Platitudes? Take Fifty Of Our Current Proverbial Sayings—they Are So Trite, So Threadbare, That We Can Hardly Bring Our Lips To Utter Them. None The Less They Embody The Concentrated Experience Of The Race, And The Man Who Orders His Life According To Their Teaching Cannot Go Far Wrong. How Easy That Seems! Has Any One Ever Done So? Never. Has Any Man Ever Attained To Inner Harmony By Pondering The Experience Of Others? Not Since The World Began! He Must Pass Through The Fire.

It Seldom Pays To Be Rude. It Never Pays To Be Only Half-rude.
