Courtship: the middle ground. Engagement: the foreground. Marriage: the nude subject. * * * * * Kruger is the epitome of obsolete ideas and living force. * * * * * A bleating lamb in a great city is in greater danger than in the darkest wood. * * * * * There be three birds. One lives only in the highest altitudes. This bird is Truth. One lives on the plain. This bird is Expediency. One lives in the mire. This bird is Subserviency. He who writes with a feather plucked from the wing of the first bird will not be listened to for ages to come. He who writes with a feather plucked from the wing of the second bird will receive the plaudits of the people. He who writes with a feather plucked from the wing of the third bird will be worshipped by the mob. * * * * * Not gold, not broad acres, not vast power, not blazoned titles, not eloquence, but truth is the lever which moves the world. * * * * * When Europe completes the process of Christianizing China that nation will have disappeared from the map. The truth-seeker never digs in the columns of the political newspaper. * * * * * A money shaver with a conscience would soon be poorer than his clients. * * * * * I have read of the dog-like affection of woman--I have seen their cat-like characteristics. * * * * * Bread snatched from the poor becomes a stone in the rich man's belly. He has only to eat his fill to sink. * * * * * What a gas lamp is to a moth, the same is a rose diamond to a woman--neither see the danger till they are dead. * * * * * In olden times Sodom and Gomorrah swallowed up the wicked. In modern times Chicago swallows up the good. * * * * * Chinaman's soliloquy. "First come missionary, big prayers, little book. Singee 'Peace on earth and good willee to all men.' Russian Bear swallow Manchuria, French Eagle strippe off Yellow Jacket, Bille Emperor stealee Peacock Feather, English Lion grabbe Pig Tail. Damme, hungry lion want everything." * * * * * Slander is more subtile than any microbe. * *
