GEMS OF THOUGHT
QUOTATIONS'. To select well among old things is almost equal to inventing new ones.— Trublet. Selected thoughts depend for their flavour upon the terseness of their expression, for thoughts are grains of sugar or salt, that must be melted in a drop of water. —Senn. A thing is never too often repeated which is never sufficiently learned. — Seneca. The poet’s line, “Order is heaven’s first law,” is so eternally true, so axiomatic, that it has become a truism; and its wisdom is as obvious in religion and scholarship as in astronomy or mathematics. —Mark Baker Eddy. The wisdom of the wise and the experience of ages may be preserved by quotation.—Disraeli.
