Blasts From Ram's Horn - Words of Wisdom

BLASTS FROM RAM'S HORN

A mushy religion will not make men.

Patience is a fruit plucked only in the gardens of pain.

The only way to exclude the evil is to entertain the good.

Some people complain because it costs an egg to get a chick.

Watching others is often an attempt to hide our own weaknesses.

The seats in heaven will not be assigned by the size of our heads.

The attempt to be a good fellow has often prevented being a good man.

Sentimental tenderness to the criminal may be cruelty to his victims.

When a man is in the right he is not afraid of being misrepresented.

Grasping a dime may keep you out of heaven as much as greed for a dollar.

Perfection may be like the North Star, impossible to touch but good to steer by.

You cannot pull a man out of the mire of sin by throwing rocks of censure at him.

—Davenport Daily Republican, Davenport, Iowa, March 4, 1903, page 4.
