Wise Observations

When a man looks on only one side of a question, and that his own side, it looks as if there was a big streak of selfishness in his makeup. If you think the world is growing worse just be a better man yourself and thus prove to others that it is really a pretty good place after all. Worry less aud trust your Heavenly Father more, at the same time doing your best to overcome obstacles, and you’ll surely come out victorious. Use the commentary of a severe friend rather than the gloss of a sweet lipped flatterer. There is more profit in a distasteful truth than deceitful sweetness.-—Quarles. Whoever is a genuine follower of truth keeps his eye steady upon his guide, indifferent whither he is led. provided that she is the leader.—Burke.
