F
Now and then one sees a face which has kept its smile pure and undefiled. Such a smile transfigures; such a smile, if the artful but know it, is the greatest weapon a face can have.

R
Words are less needful to sorrow than to joy.
A
Who waits until the wind shall silent keep.
Will never find the ready hour to sow.
N
Wounded vanity knows when it is mortally hurt; and limps off the field, piteous, all disguises thrown away. But pride carries its banner to the last; and fast as it is driven from one field unfurls it in another.
K
Who longest waits most surely wins.
