Simple people are very quick to see the live facts which are going on about them. Sweet is the scene where genial friendship plays, the pleasing game of interchanging praise. The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. The human mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. The mode by which the inevitable comes to pass is effort. We're not retreating, Hell! We're just attacking in different direction! When men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may come to believe that the ultimate good is better reached by free trade in ideas. Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become. Love is the master key which opens the gates of happiness. |
