With those that are not, never change thy mind. --DENHAM. The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom. --ARISTOTLE. Justice is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together.--WEBSTER. KINDNESS.--A more glorious victory cannot be gained over another man than this, that when the injury began on his part, the kindness should begin on ours.--TILLOTSON. Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart, and secure comfort. --SIR H.

It pre-existed, still exists, and always will exist. Depend upon it, Eve learned it in Paradise, and was taught its beauties, virtues, and varieties by an angel, there is something so transcendent in it. --HALIBURTON.
