GEMS OF THOUGHT
YESTERDAY. Study the past if you would divine the future.—Confucius. We ought not to look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors. and for the purpose of profiting by dear-bought experience.—George Washington. It is good to talk with our past hours and learn what report they bear, and how they might have reported more spiritual growth.—Mary Baker Eddy. The true past departs not; no truth or goodness realised by man ever dies, or can die; but all is still here, and. recognised or not. lives and works through endless changes.—Carlyle. The past is for us, but the sole terms on which it can become ours are its subordination to the present.—Emerson. For all of good the past hath had Remains to make our own time glad. —Whittier.
