ed, the second willfully preferred.--BANCROFT. Prejudice may be considered as a continual false medium of viewing things, for prejudiced persons not only never speak well, but also never think well, of those whom they dislike, and the whole character and conduct is considered with an eye to that particular thing which offends them.--BUTLER. Prejudice is the twin of illiberality.--G.D. PRENTICE. Remember, when the judgment is weak the prejudice is strong.--KANE O'HARA. Prejudice and self-sufficiency naturally proceed from inexperience of the world and ignorance of mankind.--ADDISON. How immense to us appear the sins we have not committed.--MADAME NECKER. PRESENT.--Busy not yourself in looking forward to the events of to-morrow; but whatever may be those of the days Providence may yet assign you neglect not to turn them to advantage.--HORACE. Make use of time, if thou lovest eternity; know yesterday cannot be recalled, to-morrow cannot be assured: to-day is only thine; which if thou procrastinate, thou losest; which lost, is lost forever: one to-day is worth two to-morrows.--QUARLES. He who neglects the present moment throws away all he has.--SCHILLER. Abridge your hopes in proportion to the shortness of the span of human life; for while we converse, the hours, as if envious of our pleasure, fly away: enjoy, therefore, the present time, and trust not too much to what to-morrow may produce.--HORACE. If we stand in the openings of the present moment, with all the length and breadth of our faculties unselfishly adjusted to what it reveals, we are in the best condition to receive what God is always ready to communicate.--T.C. UPHAM. Men spend their lives in anticipations, in determining to be vastly happy at some period or other, when they have time. But the present time has one advantage over every other--it is our own. Past opportunities are gone, future are not come.--COLTON. Try to be happy in this present moment, and put not off being so to a time to come,--as though that time should be of another make from this, which has already come and is ours.--FULLER. Let us attend to the present, and as to the future we shall know how to manage when the occasion arrives.--CORNEILLE. We may make our future by the best use of the present. There is no moment like the present.--MISS EDGEWORTH. Take all reasonable advantage of that which the present may offer you. It is the only time which is ours. Y
