STRAY THOUGHTS

Thought is a blooming field of pleasures and not of pains, if you think about the • blessings and not the adverse Sin loves the frauds perpetrated by pious people; frauds are the friends of sin. One thing well done is better than many things half done; well-done things are well-arm-ored successes, while half-done. ones leave holes for defeat’s darts. He who seeks first his own comfort becomes most uncomfortable and unhappy; he has stolen for himself what he should have sent to another. Love's harvest never comes in answer to the prayers of him who has never planted seeds of kindness.
