Post #1979

It is not by books alone, nor chiefly, that one becomes in all points a man. Study to do faithfully every duty that comes in your way. Stand to your post; silently devour the chagrins of life; love justice; control self; swerve not from truth or right; be a man of rectitude, decision, conscientiousness; one that fears and obeys God, and exercises benevolence to all; and in all this you shall possess true manliness.

A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
