is humility.--_St.
Augustine._

Epaminondas, that heathen captain, finding himself lifted up in the day
of his public triumph, the next day went drooping and hanging down his
head; but being asked what was the reason of his so great dejection,
made answer: "Yesterday I felt myself transported with vainglory,
therefore I chastise myself for it to-day."--_Plutarch._

In humility imitate Jesus and Socrates.--_Franklin._

Believe me, the much-praised lambs of humility would not bear themselves

summits, the lowlier droop their bows.--_Bulwer-Lytton._

If thou wouldst find much favor and peace with God and man, be very low

much the more as it indulges itself in the most boundless
freedoms.--_Addison._

~Hyperbole.~--Sprightly natures, full of fire, and whom a boundless
imagination carries beyond all rules, and even what is reasonable,
cannot rest satisfied with hyperbole.--_Bruyere._

Let us have done with reproaching; for we may throw out so many
reproachful words on one another that a ship of a hundred oars would not
be able to carry the load.--_Homer._

~Hypocrisy.~--Whoever is a hypocrite in his religion mocks God, presenting
to him the outside, and reserving the inward for his enemy.--_Jeremy
Taylor._

Hypocrisy has become a fashionable vice, and all fashionable vices pass
for virtue.--_Moliere._

Hypocrisy is much more eligible than open infidelity and vice: it wears
the livery of religion, and is
