HOMEMADE PHILOSOPHY

If you feel like swearing, why, swear. It’s the feeling, and not the words that do the harm. Prayer alone won’t move a country, any more than a lone dove can reproduce her kind without a companion. When a man has no longer any desire to live, his heart is as lonely as the grave which looks so restful to him away out in the shadows. Scientists are now attempting to give reasons for Noah’s flood. Sometime I hope the flood will be able to give excuses for the scientists. How useful are you in the world, young man? On this point hangs all your future success. Not how beautiful or dainty, but what force are you? I If you can’t do any good yourself, persuade your neighbor to do all the good he can. Drowned bodies are often used as a bridge for the living escape the flood. *' */■
