GEMS OF THOUGHT
BEHAVIOUR. What a man does, not what he feels, thinks, or believes, is the universal yard-stick of behaviour—Benjamin C. Leeming. Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.—Benjamin Franklin. Never return evil for evil; and, above all, do not fancy that you have been wronged when you have not been.—Mary Baker' Eddy. Let us be true; this is the highest maxim of art and of life, the secret of eloquence and virtue, and of all moral authority.—Amiel’s Journal. What is becoming in behaviour is honourable, and what is honourable is becoming.—Cicero. Oddities and singularities of behaviour may attend genius, but when they do, they are its misfortunes and blemishes—Sir William Temple.
