A Few Better Things

Tact is better than talent.
Common sense is better than circumstance.
It is better to receive criticism than flattery.
It is better to be a good failure than a bad success.
An approving conscience is better than an applauding world.
It is better to overlook a wrong than to be suspicious of one.
A minute ahead of time is better than a second behind time.
It is better to tell people of their virtues than of their faults.
It is better to secure the confidence than the advantage of others.
It is better to do with less than you can use than to want more than you need.
It is better to think of the blessings you have than of those you do not possess.—Selected.
