"In her tongue is the law of the kindness." -PROV. xxxi. 26.
SINCE trifles make the sum of human things,
And half our misery from our foibles springs;
Since life's best joys consist in peace and ease.
And though but few can serve, yet all can please;
Oh, let the ungentle spirit learn from hence,
A small unkindness is a great offence.
-HANNAH MORE
ALL usefulness and all comfort may be prevented by an unkind, a sour, crabbed temper of mind, -a man that can bear with no difference of opinion or temperament. A spirit of falt-finding; an unsatisfied temper; a constant irritability; little inequalities in the look, the temper, or the manner; a brow cloudy and dissatisfied-you husband or your wife cannot tell why-will more than neutralize all the good you can do, and render life anything but a blessing.
-ALBERT BARNES
YOU have not fulfilled every duty, unless you have fulfilled that of being pleasant."
-CHARLES BUXTON
