The Wisdom of Fools by Margaret Wade Campbell Deland
“Excerpt from the book: “You know generally, when people get engaged, there are always people who exclaim : either the man is too good for the girl (and you are too good for me, Billy!), or the girl is too good for the man. But what credit is their good behavior to me? You are a credit to your people, whoever they were; and my own belief is that they were Princes!”

Some Glimpses: *The Goal of Life: The man who remains same in pain and pleasure, and who is wise makes himself fit for eternal life. *The Charity given as a matter of duty and without expectation of return, to the right and deserving person, at the right time and place is Satvik. *Whatsoever makes the unwavering and unsteady mind wander away, let him restrain and bring it back to the control of the self alone. *A true devotee is one who has no ill-will to any being, who is friendly and compassionate, free from egoism and self sense, even-minded in pain and pleasure, and patient.

The Wit and Humor of America, Volume I. (of X.) by Marshall Pinckney Wilder
Happiness and laughter are two of the most beautiful things in the world, for they are of the few that are purely unselfish. Laughter is not for yourself, but for others. When people are happy they present a cheerful spirit, which finds its reflection in every one they meet, for happiness is as contagious as a yawn. Of all the emotions, laughter is the most versatile, for it plays equally well the role of either parent or child to happiness.
