-There is nothing, no, nothing, innocent or good that
dies and is forgotten: let us hold to that faith or none. An infant, a
prattling child, dying in the cradle, will live again in the better
thoughts of those that loved it, and play its part through them in the
redeeming actions of the world, though its body be burnt to ashes, or
drowned in the deep sea. Forgotten! Oh, if the deeds of human creatures
could be traced to their source, how beautiful would even death appear!
for how much charity, mercy, and purified affection would be seen to
have their growth in dusty graves!--_Dickens._

~Forgiveness.~--It is more easy to forgive the weak who have injured us,
than the powerful whom we have injured. That conduct will be continued
by our fears which commenced in our resentment. He that has gone so far
as to cut the claws of the lion will not feel himself quite secure until
he has also drawn his teeth.--_Colton._

They never pardon who commit the wrong.--_Dryden._

May I tell you why it seems to me a good thing for us to remember wrong
that has been done us? That we may forgive it.--_Dickens._

'Tis easier for the generous to forgive than for offense to ask
it.--_Thomson._

Life, that ever needs forgiveness, has, for its first duty, to
forgive.--_Bulwer-Lytton._

It is easy enough to forgive your enemies, if you have not the means to
harm them.--_Heinrich Heine._

More bounteous run rivers when the ice that locked their flow melts into
their waters. And when fine natures relent, their kindness is swelled by
the thaw.--_Bulwer-Lytton._

~Fortitude.~--White men should exhibit the same insensibility to moral
tortures that red men do to physical torments.--_Theophile Gautier._

There is a strength of quiet endurance as significant of courage as the
most daring feats of prowess.--_Tuckerman._

Fortitude is the guard and support of the other virtues.--_Locke._

~Fortune.~--Fortune loves only the young.--_Charles V._

Ill fortune never crushed that man whom good fortune deceived not.--_Ben
Jonson._

It is often the easiest move that completes the game. Fortune is like
the lady whom a lover carried off from all his rivals by putting an
additional lace upon his liveries.--_Bulwer-Lytton._

The use we make of our fortune determines its sufficiency. A little is
enough if used wisely, and too much if expended foolishly.--_Bovee._

The fortunate circumstances of our lives are generally found at last to
be of our own p
