Golden Thoughts.

By Feltham

I NEVER yet found pride in a noble nature, nor humility in an unworthy mind. Of all trees, I observe that God has chosen the vine—a low plant that creeps upon the helpful wall: of all beasts the soft and patient lamb: of all fowls the mild and guiltless dove. When God appeared to Moses it was not in the lofty cedar, nor the spreading palm, but in a bush, an humble, slender, abject bush. As if he would by these selections check the arrogance of man. Nothing produceth love like humility; nothing hate, like pride.—Feltham.
