The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom.-ARISTOTLE.

Justice is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together.-WEBSTER.

Kindness. A more glorious victory cannot be gained over another man than this, that when the injury began on his part, the kindness should begin on ours.-TILLOTSON.

Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart, and secure comfort. -SIR H. DAVY.

Kindness has converted more sinners than either zeal, eloquence, or learning.-F. W. FABER.

How easy it is for one benevolent being to diffuse pleasure around him; and how truly is a kind heart a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity to freshen into smiles!WASHINGTON IRVING.

Always say a kind word if you can, if only that it may come in, perhaps, with singular opportuneness, entering some mournful man's darkened room, like a beautiful firefly, whose happy circumvolutions he cannot but watch, forgetting his many troubles. -HELPS.

One kindly deed may turn

The fountain of thy soul

To love's sweet day-star, that shall o'er thee burn Long as its currents roll. -HOLMES.

We may scatter the seeds of courtesy and kindness around us at so little expense. Some of them will inevitably fall on good ground, and grow up into benevolence in the minds of others: and all of them will bear fruit of happiness in the bosom whence they spring.-BENTHAM.

There is no beautifier of complexion or form or behavior like the wish to scatter joy, and not pain, around us.-EMERSON.

Kisses. A kiss from my mother made me a painter.-BENJAMIN WEST.

It is the passion that is in a kiss that gives to it its sweetness; it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it. -BOVEE.

It is as old as the creation, and yet as young and fresh as ever. It pre-existed, still exists, and always will exist. Depend upon it, Eve learned it in Paradise, and was taught its beauties, virtues, and varieties by an angel, there is something so transcendent in it.—HALIBURTON.

Four sweet lips, two pure souls, and one undying affection, these are love's pretty ingredients for a kiss.—BOVEE.

You would think, if our lips were made of horn and stuck out a foot or two from our faces, kisses at any rate would be done for. Not so. No creatures kiss each other so much as the birds.CHARLES BUXTON.

Knowledge.-Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it. —BOSWELL.

If we do not plant knowledge when young, it will give us no shade when we are old.-CHES

TERFIELD.

In reading authors, when you find

Bright passages, that strike your mind,
And which, perhaps, you may have reason
To think on, at another season,

Be not contented with the sight,

But take them down in black and white;
Such a respect is wisely shown,

As makes another's sense one's own.

-BYRON.

Early knowledge is very valuable capital with which to set forth in life. It gives one an advantageous start. If the possession of knowledge has a given value at fifty, it has a much greater value at twenty-five; for there is the use of it for twentyfive of the most important years of your life; and it is worth more than a hundred per cent interest. Indeed, who can estimate the interest of knowledge? Its price is above rubies.—WINSLOW.

Knowledge is

Bought only with a weary care,
And wisdom means a world of pain.

-JOAQUIN MILLER.

The knowledge which we have acquired ought not to resemble a great shop without order, and without an inventory; we ought to know what we possess, and be able to make it serve us in need. -LEIBNITZ.

Knowledge is power as well as fame.-RUFUS CHOATE.

Knowledge is leagued with the universe, and findeth a friend in all things; but ignorance is everywhere a stranger, unwelcome; ill at ease and out of place. -TUPPER.

A Persian philosopher, being asked by what method he had acquired so much knowledge, answered, "By not being prevented by shame from asking questions where I was ignorant.

Every human being whose mind is not debauched, will be willing to give all that he has to get knowledge. -DR. JOHNSON.

That learning which thou gettest by thy own observation and experience, is far beyond that which thou gettest by precept; as the knowledge of a traveler exceeds that which is got by reading. THOMAS A KEMPIS.

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.-FULLER.

Knowledge will not be acquired without pains and application. It is troublesome and deep digging for pure waters; but when once you come to the spring, they rise up and meet you. -FEL

ΤΟΝ.

Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.

-COWPER. All wish to possess knowledge, but few, comparatively speaking, are willing to pay the price. -JUVENAL.

Seldom ever was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart; the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.-BISHOP Hall.

There is no knowledge for which so great a price is paid as a knowledge of the world; and no one ever became an adept in it except at the expense of a hardened or a wounded heart.-LADY BLESSINGTON.

The sure foundations of the State are laid in knowledge, not in ignorance; and every sneer at education, at culture, at book learning, which is the recorded wisdom of the experience of mankind, is the demagogue's sneer at intelligent liberty, inviting national degeneracy and ruin.-G. W. CURTIS.

Labor.-Labor is one of the great elements of society, -the great substantial interest on which we all stand.—DANIEL WEBSTER.

Hard workers are usually honest. Industry lifts them above temptation.-BOVEE.

Bodily labor alleviates the pains of the mind; and hence arises the happiness of the poor.-LA ROCHEFOUCAULD.

Labor disgraces no man; unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor.-U. S. GRANT.

If the power to do hard work is not talent, it is the best possible substitute for it.-JAMES A. GARFIELD.

It is not work that kills men, it is worry. Work is healthy, you can hardly put more upon a man than he can bear. Worry is rust upon the blade. It is not the revolution that destroys the machinery, but the friction. Fear secretes acids, but love and trust are sweet juices.—BEECHER.

Genius may conceive, but patient labor must consummate.-HORACE MANN.

God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into the nest. He does not unearth the good that the earth contains, but He puts it in our way, and gives us the means of getting it ourselves.-J. G. HOLLAND.

Labor, wide as the earth, has its summit in heaven.-CARLYLE.

Love labor; for if thou dost not want it for food, thou mayest for physic.—WILLIAM PENN. Next to faith in God, is faith in labor.-BOVEE. Labor is rest-from the sorrows that greet us; Rest from all petty vexations that meet us, Rest from sin-promptings that ever entreat us, Rest from world-sirens that lure us to ill.

-FRANCES S. OSGOOD.

No man is born into the world, whose work Is not born with him. -LOWELL.

Labor! all labor is noble and holy!

Let thy great deeds be thy prayer to thy God. -FRANCES S. OSGOOD.

Language. In the commerce of speech use only coin of gold and silver.-JOUBERT.

The language denotes the man. A coarse or refined character finds its expression naturally in a coarse or refined phraseology.-BOVEE.
