THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Keep Stii.i.. When trouble is brewing, keep still. When slander is getting on his legs, keep still. When your feelings are hurt, keep still—till yen recover front your excitement, at any rate. Things look differently through an unagitated eye, In (i commotion, once, I wrote a letter find split it. and wished I had not. In my later years I had another commotion, find wrote a long letter, lint life rubbed a little sense into me find I kept that letter in my pocket against the day when I ci'lllld look it over without agitation and without tears. 1 was glad I did. Less and less it seemed necessary to send it. I was not sure it would do any hurt, but in my doubtfulness. I leaned to reticence. and eventually it was destroyed. Time works wonders. Wait till you can .speak calmly, and then you will not need to speak maybe. Silence is the most massive tiling conceivable, sometimes it. is strength in very grandeur. —Dr Burton.
