SOME GREAT IDEAS

 

          SOME GREAT IDEAS

                                                     (FROM MY MEMORY)

1.Ambition is so powerful a passion in the human breast, that however high we reach we are never satisfied.

2. Care admitted as a guest, quickly turns to be master.

3. The great hope is in individual character.

4. Cowards falter, but danger is often overcome by those who nobly dare.

5. The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.

6. Do thy duty; that is best; leave unto the Lord the rest.

7. One should eat to live, not live to eat.

8. We can do more good by being good, than in any other way.

9.Fanaticism is the false fire of an over-heated mind.

10. Fortune knocks at every man’s door once in life.

11. He who is a slave to his belly seldom worships God.

12. Good humour is the health of the soul; sadness is its poison.

13. Sorrow’s best antidote is employment.

14. Help thyself, and God will help thee.

15. If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.

16. Judgement is forced upon us by experience.

17. The  first step to knowledge, is to know that we are ignorant.

18. Laws can discover sin, but not remove it.

19. We never live, but we ever hope to live.

20. Mercifulness makes us equal to the gods.
