Part 108 (1/2)

--_A Smith_

1491

PARTING FROM FRIENDS

When forc'd to part froh sure to uish prove, And feel a touch of sorrow

But oh! ords can paint the fears When from those friends we sever, Perhaps to part for months--for years-- Perhaps to part for ever

1492

Control your passion or it will control you

--_Horace_

1493

Nothing overcomes passion sooner than silence

--_French_

1494

Res come not back; The arrow sent upon its track-- It will not swerve, it will not stay Its speed; it flies to wound or slay; The spoken word, so soon forgot By thee, but it has perished not; In other hearts 'tis living still, And doing work for good or ill; And the lost opportunity That cometh back no more to thee

In vain thou weep'st, in vain dost yearn, These three will never ones; let the past be forgotten

--_Dr Webster_

1496

Every one utters the word ”past” with more emotion than ”future”

--_Richter_

1497

The beaten path is the safe one
