--SIR WALTER RALEIGH.
He is happy that hath a true friend at his need; but he is more truly
happy that hath no need of his friend.--WARWICK.
I would not enter on my list of friends
(Though graced with polish'd manners and fine sense,
Yet wanting sensibility) the man
Who needlessly sets foot upon a worm.
--COWPER.
True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in the
worth and choice.--DR. JOHNSON.
FRUGALITY.--Frugality is founded on the principle that all riches have
limits.--BURKE.
Frugality may be termed the daughter of prudence, the sister of
temperance, and the parent of liberty.--DR. JOHNSON.
The world has not yet learned the riches of frugality.--CICERO.
FUTURITY.--It is vain to be always looking toward the future and never
acting toward it.--J.F. BOYES.
The best preparation for the future is the present well seen to, the
last duty done.--GEORGE MACDONALD.
Trust no future howe'er pleasant;
Let the dead past bury its dead;
Act,--act in the living present,
Heart within and God o'erhead!
--LONGFELLOW.
The state of that man's mind who feels too intense an interest as to
future events, must be most deplorable.--SENECA.
God will not suffer man to have the knowledge of things to come; for
if he had prescience of his prosperity, he would be careless; and,
understanding of his adversity, he would be senseless.
