en light rubbish deadly.--_George
Eliot._
~Health.~--Be it remembered that man subsists upon the air more than upon
his meat and drink; but no one can exist for an hour without a copious
supply of air. The atmosphere which some breathe is contaminated and
adulterated, and with its vital principles so diminished, that it cannot
fully decarbonize the blood, nor fully excite the nervous
system.--_Thackeray._
Those hypochondriacs, who, like Herodius, give up their whole time and
thoughts to the care of their health, sacrifice unto life every noble
purpose of living; striving to support a frail and feverish being here,
they neglect an hereafter; they continue to patch up and repair their

Refuse to be ill. Never tell people you are ill; never own it to

temperance, and soberness. These treasures a man takes with him beyond
death when he leaves this world.--_Buddhist Scriptures._
In aught that tries the heart, how few withstand the proof!--_Byron._
The hearts of pretty women are like bonbons, wrapped up in enigmas.--_J.
Petit Senn._
A loving heart is the truest wisdom.--_Dickens._
To judge human character rightly, a man may sometimes have very small
experience, provided he has a very large heart.--_Bulwer-Lytton._
The heart has reasons that reason does not understand.--_Bossuet._
