GEMS OF THOUGHT
SELF-IMPROVEMENT. Judge of thine improvement, not by what thou speakost or writes:, but by the firmness of thy mind, and the government of thy passions and affections. —Fuller. Infinite toil would not enable you to sweep away a mist: but by ascending a little you may often look over it altogether. So it is with our moral improvement; we wrestle fiercely with a vicious habit, which would have no hold upon us if we ascended into a higher moral atmosphere.—Sir Arthur Helps.
To remove those objects of sense called sickness and disease, we must appeal to mind to improve its subjects and objects of thought, and give to the body those better delineations. —Mary Baker Eddy.
The mind unlearns with difficulty what has long been impresesd on it.— Seneca.
Use your gifts faithfully, and they shall be enlarged; practice what you know, and you shall attain to higher knowledge.—Arnold.
Finally, education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is. at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity. —Horace Mann.
