--WIRT.
They whose guilt within their bosom lies, imagine every eye beholds
their blame.--SHAKESPEARE.
Life is not the supreme good; but of all earthly ills the chief is
guilt.--SCHILLER.
They who once engage in iniquitous designs miserably deceive
themselves when they think that they will go so far and no farther;
one fault begets another, one crime renders another necessary; and
thus they are impelled continually downward into a depth of guilt,
which at the commencement of their career they would have died rather
than have incurred.--SOUTHEY.
Let wickedness escape as it may at the bar, it never fails of doing
justice upon itself; for every guilty person is his own hangman.
--SENECA.
HABIT.--Habits are soon assumed; but when we strive to strip them off,
'tis being flayed alive.--COWPER.
The law of the harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and
you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a
character, and you reap a destiny.--G.D. BOARDMAN.
A single bad habit will mar an otherwise faultless character, as an
ink drop soileth the pure white page.--HOSEA BALLOU.
Habits are like the wrinkles on a man's brow; if you will smooth out
the one, I will smooth out the other.--H.W. SHAW.
A large part of Christian virtue consists in right habits.--PALEY.
Habit is ten times nature.--WELLINGTON.
Habit is the most imperious of all masters.--GOETHE.
I will govern my life and my thoughts as if the whole world were to
see the one and to read the other; for what does it signify to make
anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God (who is the searcher of
our hearts) all our privacies are open?--SENECA.
