...Malice scorned, puts out itself

From the December 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"... Malice scorned, puts out itself;
But argued, gives a kind of credit
 To a false accusation."


Fool thou wilt be, though wisest of the wise; Then be the fool of virtue, not of vice.

 


"Intellectual supremacy is no security against spiritual blindness and moral obliquity... The hope of reward is a more subtle sin than the fear of punishment."


Many people take no care of their money till they have come nearly to the end of it; and others do just the same with their time.


Idleness is a public mint, where various kinds of mischief are coined and extensively circulated among the most despicable of the human race.
