king alike to society.

27

A man often envies another man his physical
qualities--rarely his mental. As we have no soul mirror we
cannot see the reflection of our spiritual deformities.

28

It is easy to have conscientious scruples when they are
profitable.

29

The man who marries for money is a fool, but rarely as big a
fool as he who marries for love.

30

When you have done a man a favor do not insist too earnestly
that it is a mere trifle, or he may take you at your word
and not trouble to repay it; which would be very
disappointing.

31

The gentle art of making enemies is the one natural
accomplishment which is common to all sorts and conditions
of men--and women.

32

What we think of ourselves combined with what others think
of us is a very fair estimate.

33

If a girl cannot make up her mind between two men it is
because she has no mind worth making up.

Besides, any man who will knowingly be one of two is not
worth the trouble of thinking about.

34

If we devoted as much attention to our own affairs as we
freely give to those of others, we and others would be
gainers.

35

Merit, like the show inside a circus, is of comparatively
little use as a drawing card; it is the bluff and buncombe
the banging drum and megaphone of the barker which is the
successful magnet.

36

We always know what we should do under certain
circumstances, but unfortunately we never find circumstances
arranged so as to suit what we do.

37

An over sensitive conscience is simply the evidence of
spiritual dyspepsia. The man who has it is no better than
his fellows.

38

Generosity, as commonly understood, consists in forcing upon
others that for which one has no use.

39

There is a greater difference between really thinking and
only thinking that we think than most of us think.

40

We rashly demand that the devil shall have his due,
forgetting that if that gentleman gets all that is coming to
him it will go badly with some of us.

41

If women knew themselves as well as they know men--and if
men knew women as well as they know themselves--things would
be very much as they are.

42

Before he knows a woman a man often thinks her an angel;
when he knows her he knows--er--better.

43

A critic is one who knows perfectly well how a thing should
be done, but is unable to do it. Therefore we are all the
keenest critics in matters of which we
