“ In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich. ”
We should not judge people by their peak of excellence, but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.
~ Henry Ward Beecher
Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?
Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere.
All words are pegs to hang ideas on.
