GEMS OF THOUGHT
SELF-CONTROL. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.— Proverbs. There is more heroism in self-denial than in deeds of arms. —Seneca. Prove that you can control yourself, and you are an educated man; and without this all other education is good for nothing.—Hitch. Know, then, that you possess sovereign power to think and act rightly and that nothing can dispossess you of this heritage and trespass on Love. —Mary Baker Eddy. There are seasons when to be still demands immensely higher strength than to act. —Channing. In vain he seeketh others to suppress, Who hath not learned himself first to subdue.—Edmund Spenser.
