we love truth too well to resist the charms of sincerity.-Steele.

GOOD JUDGMENT.-The most necessary talent in a man of conversation, which is what we ordinarily intend by a fine gentleman, is a good judgment. He that has this in perfection is master of his companion, without letting him see it; and has the same advantage over men of any other qualifications whatsoever, as one that can see would have over a blind man of ten times his strength.-Steele.

GOOD NATURE.—Angry and choleric men are as ungrate ful and unsociable as thunder and lightning, being in themselves all storm and tempests; but quiet and easy natures are like fair weather, welcome to all, and acceptable to all men; they gather together what the other disperses, and reconcile all whom the other incenses: as they have the good will and the good wishes of all other men, so they have the full possession of themselves, have all their own thoughts at peace, and enjoy quiet and ease in their own fortunes, how strait soever; whereas the other neither love, nor are beloved, and make war the more fainly upon others, because they have no peace within themselves; and though they are very ill company to everybody else, they are worst of all to them selves, which is a punishment that nature hath provided for them who delight in being vexatious and uneasy to others. Clarendon.

GOOD NATURE.- -A shrewd observer once said, that in walking the streets of a slippery morning, one might see where the good-natured people lived, by the ashes thrown on the ice before the doors.-Franklin.

GOOD NATURE.- Good nature is the very air of a good mind; the sign of a large and generous soul, and the peculiar soil in which virtue prospers.- Goodman.

GOODNESS.-We may be as good as we please, if we please to be good.-Barrow.

GOODNESS.

He that is a good man, is three quarters of his way towards the being a good Christian, wheresoever he lives, or whatsoever he is called.-South.

GOODNESS AND MALICE.-In doing good, we are generally cold, and languid, and sluggish; and of all things afraid of being too much in the right. But the works of malice and injustice are quite in another style. They are finished with a bold masterly hand; touched as they are with the spirit of those vehement passions that call forth all our energies, whenever we oppress and persecute.—Burke.

GOODNESS TO OTHERS.- He is good that does good to others. If he suffers for the good he does, he is better still; and if he suffers from them, to whom he did good, he is arrived to that height of goodness, that nothing but an increase of his sufferings can add to it; if it proves his death, his virtue is at its summit; it is heroism complete.— Bruyere.

GOOD QUALITIES.-I have known some men possessed of good qualities which were very serviceable to others, but useless to themselves; like a sun-dial on the front of a house, to inform the neighbors and passengers, but not the owner with. in.-Swift.

GOOD SENSE.-Good sense is the same in all ages; and course of time rather improves nature, than impairs her. What has been, may be again; another Homer and another Virgil may possibly arise from those very causes which pro-duced the first: though it would be impudence to affirm that any such have yet appeared.-Dryden.

GOOD SENSE. The figure which a man makes in life, the reception which he meets with in company, the esteem paid

him by his acquaintance-all these advantages depend as much upon his good sense and judgment, as upon any other part of his character. Had a man the best intentions in the world, and were the farthest removed from all injustice and violence, he would never be able to make himself be much regarded, without a moderate share, at least, of parts and understanding.-Hume.

GOOD SENSE AND GOOD NATURE.-Good sense and good nature are never separated, though the ignorant world has thought otherwise. Good nature, by which I mean beneficence and candor, is the product of right reason; which of necessity will give allowance to the failings of others, by considering that there is nothing perfect in mankind; and by distinguishing that which comes nearest to excellency, though not absolutely free from faults, will certainly produce a candor in the judge.-Dryden.

GOOD WILL.-Good will, like a good name, is got by many actions, and lost by one.-Jeffrey.

GOSSIPPING.-There are a set of malicious, prating, prudent gossips, both male and female, who murder characters to kill time and will rob a young fellow of his good name before he has years to know the value of it.-Sheridan.

GOVERNMENT.-Men well governed should seek after no other liberty, for there can be no greater liberty than a good government: the truth is, the easiness of the government has made some so wanton as to kick against it; our own historians write, that most of our kings have been unthankfully used.-Sir W. Raleigh.

GOVERNMENT. They that govern most make least noise. You see when they row in a barge, they that do drudgery work, slash, and puff, and sweat; but he that governs, sits quietly at the stern, and scarce is seen to stir.-Selden.

GOVERNMENT.-No government ought to own that it exists for the purpose of checking the prosperity of its people or that there is such a principle involved in its policy.Burke.

GRACE AND GOODNESS.-Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue, will always continue.-Dryden.

GRACES, CHRISTIAN.-The Christian graces are like perfumes, the more they are pressed, the sweeter they smell; like stars that shine brightest in the dark; like trees which, the more they are shaken, the deeper root they take, and the more fruit they bear.

GRACES, THE TRUE.- -As amber attracts a straw, so does beauty admiration, which only lasts while the warmth continues but virtue, wisdom, goodness, and real worth, like the loadstone, never lose their power. These are the true graces, which, as Homer feigns, are linked and tied hand in hand because it is by their influence that human hearts are so firmly united to each other.-Burton.

GRATITUDE.-Gratitude is the memory of the heart.

GRATITUDE.-Epicurus says 'gratitude is a virtue that has commonly profit annexed to it.' And where is the virtue, say I, that has not? But still the virtue is to be valued for itself, and not for the profit that attends it.-Seneca.

GRATITUDE TO GOD.-We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres, or a little money; and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as

under no obligation.-Seneca.

GRAVE, THE.- -The grave is the common treasury to which

we must all be taxed.-Burke.

Grave, the, and CHANCERY.-There are two things from which a man never comes forth, when he has once entered them; one is the grave, and the other the court of Chancery.

GRAVE, THE, AND DEATH.—' -The ancients feared death; we, thanks to Christianity, fear only dying-Guesses at Truth.

GREAT MEN. Such is the destiny of great men, that their superior genius always exposes them to be the butt of the envenomed darts of calumny and envy.- Voltaire.

GREAT MEN.-You are not yet a great man, because you are railed at by the little, and esteemed by some great characters; then only you deserve that name when the cavils of the insignificant, and the esteem of the great, keep you at equal distance from pride and despondence, invigorate your courage, and add to your humility.-Lavater.

GREAT MEN. -Men in great place are thrice servants; servants of the sovereign or state, servants of fame, and servants of business; so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times.-Lord Bacon.

GREATNESS.-The greatest man is he, who chooses the right with invincible resolution; who resists the sorest temptations from within and without; who bears the heaviest burdens eheerfully; who is calmest in storms, and most fearless under menace and frowns; and whose reliance on truth, on virtue, and on God, is most unfaltering.- Channing.

GREATNESS.--He only is great who has the habits of greatness; who, after performing what none in ten thousand could accomplish, passes on like Samson, and "tells neither father nor mother of it."-Lavater.

GREATNESS.-The true test of a great man-that, at least,
