- (continued from previous page)man discovers virtues.
It is better to fall short of a high mark than to reach a low one.
Life may be like a river but it do not in dept by being made narrow.
It is the existence of sin not the knowledge of it that blots one character.
The gem cannot be polished without friction nor the man perfected without trials.
It is a strange thing but never the less true that riches breed more fools than poverty.
The people who say life is not worth living for individual who possesses lot money and sense is pretty well equipped for the battle of life.
Never be fond of making acquaintances.
It is the last straw that breaks the camels back.
Tell me you company and I will tell you who you are.
