LANGUAGE.--In the commerce of speech use only coin of gold and silver.
--JOUBERT.

expression naturally in a coarse or refined phraseology.--BOVEE.
Language is the picture and counterpart of thought.--MARK HOPKINS.
Felicity, not fluency, of language is a merit.--WHIPPLE.
LAUGHTER.--Laughter is a most healthful exertion; it is one of the
greatest helps to digestion with which I am acquainted.--DR. HUFELAND.
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than by what they

A laugh to be joyous must flow from a joyous heart, for without
kindness there can be no true joy.--CARLYLE.
One good, hearty laugh is a bombshell exploding in the right place,

shoots it off.--TALMAGE.
Stupid people, who do not know how to laugh, are always pompous and
self-conceited; that is, ungentle, uncharitable, unchristian.

laughter.--GREVILLE.
