That man is to be accounted poor, of whatever rank he be, and suffers
the pains of poverty, whose expenses exceed his resources; and no man
is, properly speaking, poor, but he.--PALEY.
That some of the indigent among us die of scanty food is undoubtedly
true; but vastly more in this community die from eating too much than
from eating too little.--CHANNING.
Poverty is the only load which is the heavier the more loved ones
there are to assist in supporting it.--RICHTER.
POWER.--Power will intoxicate the best hearts, as wine the strongest
heads. No man is wise enough, nor good enough to be trusted with
unlimited power.--COLTON.
The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall.--BACON.
Even in war, moral power is to physical as three parts out of four.
--NAPOLEON.
The less power a man has, the more he likes to use it.--J. PETIT-SENN.
The greater a man is in power above others, the more he ought to excel
them in virtue. None ought to govern who is not better than the
governed.--PUBLIUS SYRUS.
It is an observation no less just than common, that there is no
stronger test of a man's real character than power and authority,
exciting, as they do, every passion, and discovering every latent
vice.--PLUTARCH.
PRAISE.--Words of praise, indeed, are almost as necessary to warm a
child into a genial life as acts of kindness and affection. Judicious
praise is to children what the sun is to flowers.--BOVEE.
