WITH THE SAGES

How soon men and events are forgotten! Each generation Jives in a different world. Let the child’s first lesson be obedience, and the second may be what thou wilt. —Fuller. j ■ Obstinacy and heat in argument are surest proofs of folly. Is there anything so stubborn, obstinate, disdainful, contemplative, grave, or serious, as an ass? —Montaigne. I pity the man who can travel from Dan to Beersheba, and cry, ’tis ail barren —and so it is, and so is all the world to him who will not cultivate the fruits it offers. —Sterne. Some men are bom old, and some never seem old. If we keep well and cheerful we are always young, and at last die in youth, even when years would count us old. —Tryon Edwards. Opinions are stronger than armies —ls they are founded in truth and Justice, they will, in the end, prevail against the bayonets of infantry, the fire of artillery, and charges of cavalry.—Lord Palmerston. x
