ur mind with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.--DISRAELI. Thinking leads man to knowledge. He may see and hear, and read and learn, as much as he please; he will never know any of it, except that which he has thought over, that which by thinking he has made the property of his mind. Is it then saying too much if I say, that man by thinking only becomes truly man? Take away thought from man's life, and what remains?--PESTALOZZI. One thought cannot awake without awakening others.--MARIE EBNER-ESCHENBACH. Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.--HARE. A man would do well to carry a pencil in his pocket, and write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable, and should be secured, because they seldom return.--BACON. Every pure thought is a glimpse of God.--C.A. BARTOL. Speech is external thought, and thought internal speech.--RIVAROL. Learning without thought is labor lost.--CONFUCIUS. The three foundations of thought: Perspicuity, amplitude and justness. The three ornaments of thought: Clearness, correctness and novelty. --CATHERALL. As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.--PROVERBS 23:7.

Youth is not rich in time, it may be poor; Part with it as with money, sparing; pay No moment but in purchase of its worth; And what it's worth, ask death-beds; they can tell. --YOUNG. Redeem the misspent time that's past, And live this day as 'twere thy last. --KEN. Time, the cradle of hope, but the grave of ambition, is the stern corrector of fools, but the salutary counselor of the wise, bringing all they dread to the one, and all they desire to the other.--COLTON. The time which passes over our heads so imperceptibly makes the same gradual change in habits, manners and character, as in personal appearance. At the revolution of every five years we find ourselves another and yet the same;--there is a change of views, and no less of the light in which we regard them; a change of motives as well as of action.--WALTER SCOTT. Let me therefore live as if every moment were to be my last.--SENECA. The great rule of moral conduct is, next to God, to respect time. --LAVATER. Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden
