ocean evil looks
A spark is a molecule of matter, yet may it kindle the world; vast is the mighty ocean, but drops have made it vast. Despise not thou small things, either for evil or for good; for a look may work thy ruin, or a word create thy wealth.
character building-up levers
Trifles lighter than straws are levers in the building up of character.
eye heart hands
If wealth come, beware of him, the smooth, false friend! There is treachery in his proffered hand; his tongue is eloquent to tempt; lust of many harms is lurking in his eye; he hath a hollow heart; use him cautiously.
wisdom mind argument
True wisdom, laboring to expound, heareth others readily; False wisdom, sturdy to deny, closeth up her mind to argument.
prayer writing mind
To be accurate, write; to remember, write; to know thine own mind, write. And a written prayer is a prayer of faith, special, sure, and to be answered.
kindness sea land
I have sped by land and sea, and mingled with much people, but never yet could find a spot unsunned by human kindness.
rust letters affection
A letter, timely writ, is a rivet to the chain of affection; And a letter, untimely delayed, is as rust to the solder.
marriage thinking wife
When thou choosest a wife, think not only of thyself, but of those God may give thee of her, that they reproach thee not for their being.
men hateful misanthrope
Let the misanthrope shun men and abjure; the most are rather lovable than hateful.
beautiful should-have may
How beautiful is modesty! It winneth upon all beholders; but a word or a glance may destroy the pure love that should have been for thee.
reason understood homage
Reason refuseth its homage to a God who can be fully understood.
men lotuses green
Every green herb, from the lotus to the darnel, is rich with delicate aids to help incurious man.
mean feet answers
Betray mean terror of ridicule, thou shalt find fools enough to mock thee; but answer thou their language with contempt, and the scoffers will lick thy feet.
happiness flower hands
Happiness is a roadside flower growing on the highways of usefulness; plucked, it shall wither in thy hand; passed by, it is fragrance to thy spirit. Trample the thyme beneath thy feet; be useful, be happy.
