Woman’s Ideas.
One way to make you appreciate your blessed peaceful home is having relatives visiting you.
Wedding presents are things which cost a good deal when you give them, but are cheap trifles when you receive them.
One of the temptations none of us escapes from is whether to force the fare on the conductor when he neglects to come for it.
Many a young man thinks there are two things he will never do-write love letters or be mean to his wife. But if he lives long enough he inevitably does both of them.
When a man makes a declaration of love to a woman and she says she does not understand him, either she is sparring for time or she wishes him to be unmistakably definite about it.
What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others.
Poverty itself is not so bad as the poverty thought. It is the conviction that we are poor and must remain so that is fatal.
Confidence is the Napoleon in the mental army. It doubles and trebles the power of all the other faculties. The whole mental army waits until confidence leads the way.-Success Magazine
