More_.

God is always at leisure to do good to those that ask it.
God helps those who help themselves.

What we gave we have,
what we spent we had,
what we left we lost.
--_Epitaph of Edward, Earl of Devon_.

You may know him by the company he keeps.
Better alone than in bad company.

A guilty conscience needs no accuser.

Content is more than a kingdom.

Deeds not words.

A goodly outside apple rotten at the heart,
O what a goodly outside falsehood hath.
--_Shakespeare_.

{506}

Cleanliness is next to godliness.
--_Wesley_.

They conquer who believe they can.
--_Virgil_.

Never make a mountain out of a mole hill.
Employ thy time well, and since thou art
not sure of a minute throw not away an hour.
Virtue is its own reward.

--_Prior_.

Early to bed and early to rise,
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
--_Franklin_.

Count that day lost whose low descending sun
Views from thy hand no worthy action done.

Never leave that till to-morrow
which you can do to-day.
--_Franklin_.

Kind hearts are the gardens,
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the blossoms,
Kind deeds are the fruits.
--_New Education Reader_.

Do you know how many children,
Go to little beds at night,
And, without a care or trouble,
Wake up with the morning light?
God in heaven each name can tell;
Knows you, too, and knows you well.
--_New Education Reader_.

Be kind and be gentle,
To those who are old,
For kindness is dearer
And better than gold.
--_New Education Reader_.

{507}

Please is a very little word,
And thank-you is not long.

Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong,
I am weak, but He is strong.

Love God with all your soul and strength,
With all your heart and mind,
And love your neighbor as yourself,
Be faithful, just, and kind.
Deal with another as you'd have
Another deal with you:
