fruit of religion.--HOSEA BALLOU.

In beginning the world, if you don't wish to get chafed at every turn,

it out to air upon grand occasions. Pride is a garment all stiff
brocade outside, all grating sackcloth on the side next to the skin.
--LYTTON.

living peace.--RUSKIN.

"Can any good come out of Nazareth?" This is always the question of
the wiseacres and the knowing ones. But the good, the new, comes from

unobserved.--FEUERBACH.
