    (continued from previous page)
    You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink.
    A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.
    Do good no matter to whom.
    Take the world as it is not as it should be.
    You should forgive many things in others but nothing in yourself.
    The object of life is to be happy and the way to be happy is to make others happy.
    Kind words cost little but they are priceless in their value.
    Kind words can never die.
    Slander will travel twice round the world before truth has time to get its boots on.
