But -many tears have failed to extinguish the fire which burns in some -hearts. - -The rope always breaks in the thinnest place. - - * * * * * - -Of the many who are indifferent to the presence of grandeur or pathos, -some sleep, some laugh, and a few yawn candidly. - - * * * * * - -Behold the injustice of the world, because the great grand-father once -killed a cat in his village, the family has ever since been called -«Cat-killer!» - - * * * * * - -It is foolish to make a sensible person suffer for the folly of a fool. - - * * * * * - -A rule for happiness: never go to bed without feeling sure you have -performed at least one act of kindness during the day. - -The deafest man is he who does not wish to hear. - - * * * * * - -With good intentions you can seldom do much wrong. - - * * * * * - -Bad habits should be early forsaken, for custom becomes second nature. - - * * * * * - -The wheel of fortune is as steady in its revolutions as a mill-wheel, -and although Cupid may smile at the top to-day, to-morrow, in spite of -his wings, he may be crushed beneath it. - - * * * * * - -In the garden of the world the soul is like a flower, and the dew for -this flower is hope. Hope, and your soul will always be kept fresh. - -The garb should always be suitable to the office and rank of the wearer. - - * * * * * - -Some persons study the stars to learn their destiny, and a lover studies -a woman’s eyes to know his. - - * * * * * - -I will read you your character, if you tell me what company you keep. - - * * * * * - -It is said to be a trait of woman, to slight those who adore her, and -love those who do not care for her. - - * * * * * - -Distrust those who flame suddenly with enthusiasm. The hotter the -frying-pan, the sooner melts the butter. - -Work is something given directly from God, and it redeems the world. - - * * * * * - -Merit does much, but fortune often has a share in the bargain. - - * * * * * - -Much harm would arise if all the world believed in the Latin proverb; -«_Audaces fortuna juvat._» - - * * * * * - -There is no such thing as a modest highwayman; neither does any honest -fellow like to make himself too visible. - - * * * * * - -Notable actions are like the shadows of the individuals who perform -them; the greater they are, the further the shadow is cast. - -«Do not strive to hide your poverty, nor that of your family.
