Many Thoughts of Many Minds Part 61

One thought cannot awake without awakening others.--MARIE EBNER-ESCHENBACH.

Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.--HARE.

A man would do well to carry a pencil in his pocket, and write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable, and should be secured, because they seldom return.--BACON.

Every pure thought is a glimpse of G.o.d.--C.A. BARTOL.

Speech is external thought, and thought internal speech.--RIVAROL.

Learning without thought is labor lost.--CONFUCIUS.

The three foundations of thought: Perspicuity, amplitude and justness.

The three ornaments of thought: Clearness, correctness and novelty.

--CATHERALL.

As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.--PROVERBS 23:7.

TIME.--Time is like money; the less we have of it to spare, the further we make it go.--H.W. SHAW.

Youth is not rich in time, it may be poor; Part with it as with money, sparing; pay No moment but in purchase of its worth; And what it's worth, ask death-beds; they can tell.

--YOUNG.

Redeem the misspent time that's past, And live this day as 'twere thy last.

--KEN.

Time, the cradle of hope, but the grave of ambition, is the stern corrector of fools, but the salutary counselor of the wise, bringing all they dread to the one, and all they desire to the other.--COLTON.

The time which pa.s.ses over our heads so imperceptibly makes the same gradual change in habits, manners and character, as in personal appearance. At the revolution of every five years we find ourselves another and yet the same;--there is a change of views, and no less of the light in which we regard them; a change of motives as well as of action.--WALTER SCOTT.

Let me therefore live as if every moment were to be my last.--SENECA.

The great rule of moral conduct is, next to G.o.d, to respect time.

--LAVATER.

Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever!--HORACE MANN.

As every thread of gold is valuable, so is every minute of time.--MASON.

No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any.--THOMAS JEFFERSON.

Make use of time, if thou valuest eternity. Yesterday cannot be recalled; to-morrow cannot be a.s.sured; to-day only is thine, which, if thou procrastinatest, thou losest; which loss is lost forever.--JEREMY TAYLOR.

He is a good time-server that improves the present for G.o.d's glory and his own salvation.--THOMAS FULLER.

Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end to them.--SENECA.

Time is given us that we may take care for eternity; and eternity will not be too long to regret the loss of our time if we have misspent it.--FeNELON.

Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind.--HAWTHORNE.

Dost thou love life, then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.--FRANKLIN.

TOLERATION.--Let us be very gentle with our neighbors' failings, and forgive our friends their debts as we hope ourselves to be forgiven.

--THACKERAY.

There is nothing to do with men but to love them; to contemplate their virtues with admiration, their faults with pity and forbearance, and their injuries with forgiveness.--DEWEY.

Tolerance is the only real test of civilization.--ARTHUR HELPS.

It requires far more of constraining love of Christ to love our cousins and neighbors as members of the heavenly family than to feel the heart warm to our suffering brethren in Tuscany and Madeira.

--ELIZABETH CHARLES.

If thou canst not make thyself such an one as thou wouldst, how canst thou expect to have another in all things to thy liking?--THOMAS a KEMPIS.

The religion that fosters intolerance needs another Christ to die for it.--BEECHER.

Let us often think of our own infirmities, and we shall become indulgent toward those of others.--FeNELON.

Has not G.o.d borne with you these many years? Be ye tolerant to others.--HOSEA BALLOU.

TRAVEL.--A traveler without observation is a bird without wings.--SAADI.

He who never leaves his country is full of prejudices.--CARLO GOLDONI.

Railway traveling is not traveling at all; it is merely being sent to a place, and very little different from becoming a parcel.--RUSKIN.

To roam giddily, and be everywhere but at home, such freedom doth a banishment become.--DONNE.

The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.--DR. JOHNSON.

He travels safest in the dark who travels lightest.--CORTES.

Usually speaking, the worst-bred person in company is a young traveler just returned from abroad.--SWIFT.

TRUST.--I think we may safely trust a good deal more than we do.

--Th.o.r.eAU.

Trust with a child-like dependence upon G.o.d, and you shall fear no evil, for be a.s.sured that even "if the enemy comes in like a flood"

the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. While at that dread hour, when the world cannot help you, when all the powers of nature are in vain, yea, when your heart and your flesh shall fail you, you will be enabled still to rely with peace upon Him who has said "I will be the strength of thy heart and thy portion for ever."

--H. BLUNT.

To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.--GEORGE MACDONALD.

Whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.--PROVERBS 16:20.
