MAXIMS.
The human mind will improve itself if it be kept in action, but grows dull and torpid when left to slumber. I believe stupidity may be cultivated.—Lord Collingwood. Little reliance can be placed upon kind hearts, quick sensibilities, and even devotional feelings, if there be no religious principle to controul, and direct, and strengthen them.— Southey. He who has no taste for order will be often wrong in his judgment, and seldom considerate or conscientions in his actions.— Lavator. Expect no real kindness from a selfish man. He cares for nobody; thinks of nobody but himself.— ffotvser.
