GEMS OF THOUGHT
RIGHTNESS. Would you be exempt from uneasiness; do nothing you know or even suspect is wrong.—Rules of Life. Let a man try faithfully, manfully Ito be right, he will daily grow more and more right. It is at the bottom of the condition on which all men have to cultivate themselves—Carlyle. There is no right without a parallel duty, no liberty without the supremacy of the law, no high destiny without earnest perseverence, no greatness without self-denial. —Lieber. Wrong may be a man’s highest idea of right until his grasp of goodness grows stronger. It is always safe to be just. —Mary Baker Eddy. Never, with the Bible in our hands, can we deny rights to another, which, under the same circumstances, .we would claim for ourselves.—Gardiner Spring. Holiness, meekness, patience, humility, self-denial, and self-sacrifice, faith, love —each is might, and every gift of the spirit is might. —Hare.
