Health is the condition of wisdom, and the sign is cheerfulness, -- an open and noble temper. All mankind love a lover. The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. The greatest homage we can pay to truth is to use it. A friend is one before whom I may think aloud. He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere. The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship. Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies. |
