LATTER DAY PROVERBS.
Charity may begin at home, but reform begins elsewhere. The world owes every man an existence, but not a living. There's no re-dress for the man who has but one suit of clothes. A little white lie is always side-tracked for a big blaok one. A man can make a good bluff by looking wise and keeping his mouth closed.
The good man who goes wrong is in reality a bad man who has just been found out.
Worry never cures an evil, but it sometimes relieves the monotony of too much happiness.
The poet possesses wonderful power. The mere sight of one has been known to raise the hair of an editor.
The individual who spends his time in telling what he is going 1 to do after he gets there always fails to arrive.
