GEMS OF THOUGHT.
REFORM.
Charles Fox said that restorations were the most bloody cf all revolutions; and he might have added that reformations arc the best mode of preventing the necessity of either. —Colton.
Every reform, however necessary, will by weak minds be carried to an excess which will itself need reforming.—Coleridge,
This is a period of doubt, inquiry, speculation, selfishness; of divided interests, marvellous good, and mysterious evil. But sin can only work out its own destruction; and reform does and must push on the growth cf mankind. —Mary Baker Eddy.
How important, often, is the pain of guilt, as a stimulant to amendment and reformation. —John Fester,
All reform except a moral one will prove unavailing.—Carlyle.
“Think of it, sweetie. If you’d marry me you’d have a great big strong man around the house all the time.” “That’s just it. I’d prefer a husband who has a job.’
