APHORISMS AND REFLECTIONS
\ . - _____ The is nothing of permanent \;i lue (putting aside a few huiiuiii a-fl notions), nothing that satisfies quiet reflection —except the sense of having worked according to one's capacity and light, to make things clear and get rid of emit and .shams of ail sorts. That was the lesson I learned from Carlyle’s hooks when I was a boy, and it has struck by me all my life. Yon may make more of tailing to get money, and of succeeding in getting abuse—until such time in your life (if you are teachable) you have ceased to care much about either. * * * The actions wo call sinful are as much the consequence of the order ol nature as those we call virtuous. They are paid and parcel of the struggle for existence through which they have become sins because* man all living tilings have' passed, and alone seeks a higher life in voluntary association.
