He That Is Possessed With A Prejudice

To Rejoice In Another's Prosperity Is To Give Content To Your Lot; To Mitigate Another's Grief Is To Alleviate Or Dispel Your Own

We Never Reach Our Ideals, Whether Of Mental Or Moral Improvement, But The Thought Of Them Shows Us Our Deficiencies, And Spurs Us On To Higher And Better Things.

Where Duty Is Plain Delay Is Both Foolish And Hazardous; Where It Is Not, Delay May Be Both Wisdom And Safety.

Most Of Our Censure Of Others Is Only Oblique Praise Of Self, Uttered To Show The Wisdom And Superiority Of The Speaker. It Has All The Invidiousness Of Self-praise, And All The Ill-desert Of Falsehood.

Indolence Is The Dry Rot Of Even A Good Mind And A Good Character; The Practical Uselessness Of Both. It Is The Waste Of What Might Be A Happy And Useful Life.
