Between Two Evils, Choose Neither; Between Two

Some Persons Are Exaggerators By Temperament. They Do Not Mean Untruth, But Their Feelings Are Strong, And Their Imaginations Vivid, So That Their Statements Are Largely Discounted By Those Of Calm Judgment And Cooler Temperament. They Do Not Realize That We Always Weaken What We Exaggerate.

The First Evil Choice Or Act Is Linked To The Second; And Each One To The One That Follows, Both By The Tendency Of Our Evil Nature And By The Power Of Habit, Which Holds Us As By A Destiny

Any Act Often Repeated Soon Forms A Habit; And Habit Allowed, Steady Gains In Strength, At First It May Be But As A Spider's Web, Easily Broken Through, But If Not Resisted It Soon Binds Us With Chains Of Steel.

Prejudices Are Rarely Overcome By Argument; Not Being Founded In Reason They Cannot Be Destroyed By Logic.

Sinful And Forbidden Pleasures Are Like Poisoned Bread; They May Satisfy Appetite For The Moment, But There Is Death In Them At The End.
