GRAINS OF GOLD.

Golden opportunities do not travel by a time-table.
Success in anything requires singleness of purpose.
He that would enjoy the fruit must not gather the flower.
A good day does not always begin with a bright morning.
Character is something that can not be burned up or buried.
How ready some people are to sell their souls for spot cash!
Hard work is only hard to those who do not put heart in it.
Sympathy is something that is not learned from books.
Murder is committed in the heart before it is done with a gun.
Success that is not planned for and worked for is never enjoyed.
There are men who like to speak well of others—on a tombstone.
The things which do the most to make us happy do not cost money.
It is remarkable how many virtues can be seen in people who have money.
Is the woman who talks about her neighbors any worse than the one who listens?
If you want to be strong in adversity, don't forget to pray when you are prosperous.
Put this restriction on your pleasures, be cautious that they injure no being that lives.
Only a little of the best sermon can be remembered, but an act of kindness is never forgotten.—Selected.
