nd pleasure.--_Chapone._ Emotion, whether of ridicule, anger, or sorrow; whether raised at a puppet-show, a funeral, or a battle, is your grandest of levelers. The man who would be always superior should be always apathetic.--_Bulwer-Lytton._ ~Employment.~--The wise prove, and the foolish confess, by their conduct, that a life of employment is the only life worth leading.--_Paley._ Life will frequently languish, even in the hands of the busy, if they have not some employment subsidiary to that which forms their main pursuit.--_Blair._ ~Emulation.~--Emulation embalms the dead; envy, the vampire, blasts the living.--_Fuseli._ ~Enemies.~--It is the enemy whom we do not suspect who is the most dangerous.--_Rojas._ ~Energy.~--The longer I live, the more deeply am I convinced that that which makes the difference between one man and another--between the weak and powerful, the great and insignificant--is energy, invincible determination; a purpose once formed, and then death or victory. This quality will do anything that is to be done in the world; and no two-legged creature can become a man without it.--_Charles Buxton._ The truest wisdom is a resolute determination.--_Napoleon._ To think we are able is almost to be so; to determine upon attainment is frequently attainment itself. Thus earnest resolution has often seemed to have about it almost a savor of omnipotence.--_Samuel Smiles._ Oh! for a forty parson power.--_Byron._ Daniel Webster struck me much like a steam-engine in trousers.--_Sydney Smith._ This world belongs to the energetic.--_Emerson._ ~Enjoyment.~--Whatever advantage we snatch beyond the certain portion allotted us by nature is like money spent before it is due, which at the time of regular payment will be missed and regretted.--_Johnson._ ~Ennui.~--I have also seen the world, and after long experience have discovered that ennui is our greatest enemy, and remunerative labor our most lasting friend.--_Moeser._ I am wrapped in dismal thinking.--_Shakespeare._ ~Enthusiasm.~--Enthusiasts soon understand each other.--_Washington Irving._ Enthusiasm is an evil much less to be dreaded than superstition. Superstition is the disease of nations; enthusiasm, that of individuals: the former grows inveterate by time, the latter is cured by it.--_Robert Hall._ Enthusiasm is that temper of mind in which the imagination has got the better of the judgment.--_Warburton._ Great designs
