( 358 ) 
And it always conies with years, 
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth 
Is the smile that shines through tears. 
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 
T ears. 
Bear gently, suffer like a child, 
Nor be ashamed of tears; 
Kiss the sweet Cross, and in thy heart 
Sing of the Eternal Years !* 
— F. W. Faber. 
THINK, BUT LEARN. 
A thinker by thinking once thought out a thought! 
And when he’d done thinking the thought came to naught! 
So, thinking again, he soon thought that he ought 
To put by his thinking and learn to be TATJGHT! 
— Anon. 
TIME. 
Hours are golden links—God’s token— 
Reaching Heaven but one by one; 
Take them, lest the chain be broken 
Ere thy pilgrimage be done! 
— Anon. 
Time is the nurse and breeder of all good. 
— Shakespeare. 
Who knows most, him loss of time most grieves. 
— Hante. 
Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute 
What you can do, or think, you can begin it. 
— Faust.
