The Greatest Luxury Of Riches Is That

There Are Few Who Would Need Advisers, If They Were Only Accustomed To Appeal To Themselves In Their Calmest, Holiest Moments. If, When Embarrassed With Doubt As To Any Course Of Action, They Would Turn Aside From The Immediate Tumult Of The World, And From The Vain Speaking Of Those Who "darken Counsel By Words Without Knowledge;" And Would Then Commune With Their Hearts Alone, At Night, The Heavens Their Silent Counsellors, They Would Act Not Always In Accordance With The Wise Men Of This World, But With That Wisdom Which Bringeth Peace.

It Has Always Appeared To Me, That There Is So Much To Be Done In This World, That All Self-inflicted Suffering Which Cannot Be Turned To Good Account For Others, Is A Loss - A Loss, If You May So Express It, To The Spiritual World.

More Than Half The Difficulties Of The World Would Be Allayed Or Removed By The Exhibition Of Good Temper.

Many A Man Has A Kind Of A Kaleidoscope, Where The Bits Of Broken Glass Are His Own Merits And Fortunes; And They Fall Into Harmonious Arrangements, And Delight Him, Often Most Mischievously And To His Ultimate Detriment; But They Are A Present Pleasure.

Wisdom Is Seldom Gained Without Suffering.
