--QUARLES.
Foul-cankering rust the hidden treasure frets;
But gold, that's put to use, more gold begets.
--SHAKESPEARE.
Gold is the fool's curtain, which hides all his defects from the
world.--FELTHAM.
O cursed lust of gold! when for thy sake
The fool throws up his interest in both worlds.
--BLAIR.
How few, like Daniel, have God and gold together!--GEORGE VILLIERS.
Gold adulterates one thing only,--the human heart.--MARGUERITE DE
VALOIS.
GOODNESS.--A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps
friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.--BASIL.
It is only great souls that know how much glory there is in being
good.--SOPHOCLES.
Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.--POPE.
Every day should be distinguished by at least one particular act of
love.--LAVATER.
He that is a good man is three-quarters of his way towards the being a
good Christian, wheresoever he lives, or whatsoever he is
called.--SOUTH.
A good man is kinder to his enemy than bad men are to their friends.
--BISHOP HALL.
Live for something. Do good, and leave behind you a monument of
virtue that the storm of time can never destroy. Write your name in
kindness, love, and mercy, on the hearts of thousands you come in
contact with year by year; you will never be forgotten. No, your name,
your deeds, will be as legible on the hearts you leave behind as the
stars on the brow of evening.
