Being and Doing – 24 September – Reserve
Respect the natural modesty of the soul; its more delicate flowers of feeling close their petals where they are touched too rudely.

IT IS the wisdom of life to receive our friends as from the hand of God,
A TRUE friend is one who makes us do what we can.
LIFE is measured by thought and action, not by time.
LITTLE minds are in a hurry when the object proves (as it commonly does) too big for them;
Let the duties that lie nearest you be always the most imperative;
…Let the aim of such persons be to do the thing well rather than to get through it fast.
To choose time is to save time.
Each man has some part to play;
The Past and the Future are nothing,
In the face of the stern To-day.
To shape the whole future is not our problem; but only to shape faithfully a small part of it, according to rules already known.
