GEMS OF THOUGHT
DEFENCE. Wise distrust and constant watchfulness are the parents of safety. —Seeker. There is between my will and all offenses, a guard of patience.—Shakespeare. Meekness excludes revenge, irritability, morbid sensitiveness, but not selfdefence, or a quiet and steady maintenance of right.—Theophylact. Evil thoughts, lusts, and malicious purposes cannot go forth, like wandering pollen, from one human mind to another, finding unsuspected lodgment, if virtue and truth build a strong defence. —Mary Baker Eddy. By desiring what is perfectly good, we are part of the power against evil, widening the skirts of light and making the struggle with darkness narrower.—George Eliot. Scholars may quote Plato in their studies, but the hearts of millions will quote the Bible at their daily toil, and draw strength from its inspiration, as the meadows draw it from- the brook. - -Conway.
