EPIGRAMS WISE AND WITTY.
Discontent is the want of self-reli-ance. The way to have a true friend is to be one. When in tlie midst of adversity—be strong. Successful men are not only born, but made.
Cheerfulness is one of the great miracle-workers. Save a little money, much time, and all your soul. To encourage honesty in others, be honest yourself. If you're afraid of work, you have to brave poverty. Don't wait for something to turn up —go and turn it up. The most ignorant of those who "'know it ail/' Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Do your best—then you can gain your own approbation. There are many religions, but there is only one morality. If you can't get rid of trouble, cover it—make the best of it.
Better find one of your own faults than ten of another's. Like what you are doing now if you would do something better. Spend not your moments in looking afar offs do what's wanted now. He who has a thousand friends has not a iriend to spare, and he who has one enemy shall meet him everywhere.
