MISTAKES OF LIFE
THE GREAT ONES The greatest mistakes of life are: To expect to set up your own standard of right and wrong, and expect everybody to conform to it. To try to judge the amusements of others by your own. To expect uniformity of opinion in this world. * . To endeavour to mould all dispositions alike. Not to yield to unimportant trifles., To look for perfection in our own actions. To worry ourselves and others about what cannot be remedied.: Not to help, if we can, all that needs help. Not to make allowances for the weaknesses of others. To consider anything impossible that we cannot ourselves perform. To believe only what our finite minds can grasp. To live as if the moment, the time, the day were so important that it would iast forever. ; To estimate people by some outside quality, for it is that within which makes the man,:—Rankin's Ray.
