Saturday Evening Gazette/June 7, 1856/Excerpts

Excerpts.—Hatred is so durable and so obstinate, that reconciliation on a sick-bed is the greatest sign of death. A wise man will desire no more than what he may get justly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and live contentedly. The best way to humble a proud man is to take no notice of him. Revenge stops at nothing that is violent and wicked. The histories of all ages are full of the outrages that have been executed by this diabolical passion. Censure is the tax a man pays the public for being eminent. Men repent speaking ten times for once that they repent keeping silence.
