JOY.

fountain of joy within him. He is satisfied from himself. Joy wholly from without is false, precarious, and short. From without, it may be gathered; but, like gathered flowers, though fair and sweet for a season, it must soon wither and become offensive. Joy from within is like smelling the rose on the tree; it is more sweet and fair; it is lasting; and, I must add, immortal. Young.

Man is the merriest, the most joyous of all the species of creation.-Above and below him all are serious.-Addison.

Joy in this world is like a rainbow, which in the morning only appears in the west, or toward the evening sky; but in the latter hours of day casts its triumphal arch over the east, or morning sky.-Richter.

It is better that joy should be spread over all the day in the form of strength, than that it should be concentrated into ecstasies, full of danger, and followed by reactions.-Emerson.

The most profound joy has more of gravity than of gaiety in it.-Montaigne.

He who can conceal his joys is greater than he who can hide his griefs.-Lavater.

Nature, in zeal for human amity, denies or damps an undivided joy.-Joy is an exchange; it flies monopolies; it calls for two; rich fruit, heaven planted, never plucked by one.-Young.

The noblest spirits are those which turn to heaven, not in the hour of sorrow, but in that of joy; like the lark, they wait for the clouds to disperse, that they may soar into their native element.—Richter. up

A man would have no pleasure in discovering all the beauties of the universe, even in heaven itself, unless he had a partner to whom he might communicate his joys.-Cicero.

When we speak of joy it is not something we are after, but something that will come to us when we are after God and duty.Horace Bushnell.

Joys are our wings; sorrows our spurs.Richter.

The soul's calm sunshine, and the heartfelt joy.-Pope.

True joy is only hope put out of fear.Brooke.

We lose the peace of years when we hunt after the rapture of moments.-Bulwer.

Little joys refresh us constantly, like our daily bread, and never bring disgust; great ones, like sugar-bread, refresh us briefly, and then bring satiety.-Richter,

Tranquil pleasures last the longest; we are not fitted to bear long the burden of great joys.-Bovee.

Joy never feasts so high as when the first course is of misery.-Suckling.

There is not a joy the world can give like that it takes away.-Byron.

Joy is more divine than sorrow, for joy is bread and sorrow is medicine.-H. W. Beecher.

The highest joy to the Christian almost always comes through suffering. No flower can bloom in Paradise which is not transplanted from Gethsemane. No one can

taste of the fruit of the tree of life, that has not tasted of the fruits of the tree of Calvary. The crown is after the cross.

To pursue joy is to lose it. The only way to get it is to follow steadily the path of duty, without thinking of joy, and then, like sleep, it comes most surely unsought, and we being in the way," the angel of God, bright-haired Joy, is sure to meet us. -A. Maclaren.

We ask God to forgive us for our evil thoughts and evil temper, but rarely, if ever, ask him to forgive us for our sadness. -R. W. Dale.

The very society of joy redoubles it; so that, while it lights upon my friend it rebounds upon myself, and the brighter his candle burns the more easily will it light mine.-South.

The joy resulting from the diffusion of blessings to all around us is the purest and sublimest that can ever enter the human mind, and can be conceived only by those who have experienced it. Next to the consolations of divine grace, it is the most sovereign balm to the miseries of life, both in him who is the object of it, and in him who exercises it.-Bp. Porteus.

Great joy, especially after a sudden change of circumstances, is apt to be silent, and dwells rather in the heart than on the tongue.-Fielding.

Here below is not the land of happiness; it is only the land of toil; and every joy which comes to us is only to strengthen us for some greater labor that is to succeed.Fichte.

We can do nothing well without joy, and a good conscience which is the ground of joy.-Sibbes.

There is a sweet joy that comes to us through sorrow.-Spurgeon.

JUDGMENT.-(See "OPINION.")

As the touchstone which tries gold, but

JUDGMENT.

is not itself tried by gold, such is he who has the true standard of judgment.—Epictetus.

In forming a judgment, lay your hearts void of fore-taken opinions; else, whatsoever is done or said will be measured by a wrong rule; like them who have the jaundice, to whom everything appeareth yellow. -Sir P. Sidney.

Men are not to be judged by their looks, habits, and appearances; but by the character of their lives and conversations, and by their works. It is better to be praised by one's own works than by the words of another.-L'Estrange.

Judge thyself with the judgment of sincerity, and thou wilt judge others with the judgment of charity.-J. Mason.

While actions are always to be judged by the immutable standard of right and wrong, the judgments we pass upon men must be qualified by considerations of age, country, station, and other accidental circumstances; and it will then be found that he who is most charitable in his judgment is generally the least unjust.-Southey.

Never be a judge between thy friends in any matter where both set their hearts upon the victory. If strangers or enemies be litigants, whatever side thou favorest, thou gettest a friend; but when friends aré the parties thou losest one.-Bp. Taylor.

Judgment is forced upon us by experience.-Johnson.

The judgment is like a pair of scales, and evidences like the weights; but the will holds the balances in its hand; and even a slight jerk will be sufficient, in many cases, to make the lighter scale appear the heavier. Whately.

A man has generally the good or ill qualities which he attributes to mankind. Shenstone.

It is with our judgments as with our watches: no two go just alike, yet each believes his own.-Pope.

How little do they see what really is, who frame their hasty judgment upon that which seems.-Southey.

We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing; others judge us by what we have done.-Longfellow.

Men's judgments are a parcel of their fortunes; and things outward do draw the inward quality after them.-Shakespeare.

The most necessary talent in a man of conversation, which is what we ordinarily intend by a 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 other qualifications, as one that can see would have over a blind man of ten times his strength.-Steele.

You think it a want of judgment that one changes his opinion.-Is it a proof that your scales are bad because they vibrate with every additional weight that is added to either side ?-Miss Edgeworth.

It is a maxim received in life that, in general, we can determine more wisely for others than for ourselves.-The reason of it is so clear in argument that it hardly wants the confirmation of experience.Junius.

Everyone complains of the badness of his memory, but nobody of his judgment. -Rochefoucauld.

The wise determine from the gravity of the case; the irritable, from sensibility to oppression; the high-minded, from disdain and indignation at abusive power in unworthy hands.—Burke.

Lynx-eyed to our neighbors, and moles to ourselves.—La Fontaine.

The seat of knowledge is in the head; of wisdom, in the heart. We are sure to judge wrong if we do not feel right.-Hazlitt.

The vulgar mind fancies that good judgment is implied chiefly in the capacity to censure; and yet there is no judgment so exquisite as that which knows properly how to approve.-Simms.

We do not judge men by what they are in themselves, but by what they are relatively to us.-Mad. Swetchine.

Fools measure actions after they are done, by the event; wise men beforehand, by the rules of reason and right. The former look to the end to judge of the act. Let me look to the act, and leave the end to God.—Bp. Hall.

While I am ready to adopt any wellgrounded opinion, my inmost heart revolts against receiving the judgments of others respecting persons, and whenever I have done so, I have bitterly repented of it.Niebuhr.

Think wrongly, if you please; but in all cases think for yourself.-Lessing.

No man can judge another, because no man knows himself, for we censure others but as they disagree from that humor which we fancy laudable in ourselves, and commend others but for that wherein they seem to quadrate and consent with us.- Sir Thomas Browne.

A flippant, frivolous man may ridicule

JURISPRUDENCE.

others, may controvert them, scorn them; but he who has any respect for himself seems to have renounced the right of thinking meanly of others.-Goethe.

In judging of others a man laboreth in vain, often erreth, and easily sinneth; but in judging and examining himself, he always laboreth fruitfully. Thomas à Kempis.

The contemporary mind may in rare cases be taken by storm; but posterity never. The tribunal of the present is accessible to influence; that of the future is incorrupt.-Gladstone.

I mistrust the judgment of every man in a case in which his own wishes are concerned.- Wellington.

In our judgment of human transactions, the law of optics is reversed; we see the most indistinctly the objects which are close around us.- -Whately.

To judge by the event, is an error all abuse and all commit; for in every instance, courage, if crowned with success, is heroism; if clouded by defeat, temerity.-Colton.

Human nature is so constituted, that all see and judge better in the affairs of other men than in their own.-Terence.

Never forget the day of judgment. Keep it always in view. Frame every action and plan with a reference to its unchanging decisions.

Human judgment, like Luther's drunken peasant, when saved from falling on one side, topples over on the other.-Mazzini.

JURISPRUDENCE. The law is made to protect the innocent by punishing the guilty.-Daniel Webster.

The point most liable to objection in the jury system, is the power which any one or more of the twelve have to starve the rest into compliance with their opinion; so that the verdict may possibly be given by strength of constitution, not by conviction of conscience: and "wretches hang that jurymen may dine."-Lord Orrery.

The criminal law is not founded on the principle of vengeance; it uses evil only as the means of preventing greater evil.Daniel Webster.

The institution of the jury, if confined to criminal cases, is always in danger; but when once it is introduced into civil proceedings, it defies the aggressions of time and of man.-De Tocqueville.

Whenever a jury, through whimsical or ill-founded scruples, suffer the guilty to escape, they become responsible for the augmented danger of the innocent.-Daniel Webster.

JUSTICE.-To be perfectly just is an attribute of the divine nature; to be so to the utmost of our abilities, is the glory of man.-Addison.

Judges ought to be more learned than witty, more reverent than plausible, and more advised than confident. Above all things, integrity is their portion and proper virtue.-Bacon.

If judges would make their decisions just, they should behold neither plaintiff, defendant, nor pleader, but only the cause itself.-B. Livingston.

Justice discards party, friendship, and kindred, and is therefore represented as blind.-Addison.

One man's word is no man's word; we should quietly hear both sides.-Goethe.

Impartiality is the life of justice, as justice is of all good government.

Justice is the constant desire and effort to render to every man his due.—Justinian.

Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any departure from it, under any circumstance, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all.-Burke.

Man is unjust, but God is just; and finally justice triumphs.-Longfellow.

Justice is as strictly due between neighbor nations, as between neighbor citizens. A highwayman is as much a robber when he plunders in a gang, as when single; and a nation that makes an unjust war is only a great gang of robbers.-Franklin.. Justice without wisdom is impossible.Froude.

The only way to make the mass of mankind see the beauty of justice, is by showing them, in pretty plain terms, the consequence of injustice.-Sidney Smith.

Be just and fear not; let all the ends thou aimest at be thy country's, thy God's, and truth's.-Shakespeare.

JUSTICE.

To embarrass justice by a multiplicity of laws, or hazard it by a confidence in our judges, are, I grant, the opposite rocks on which legislative wisdom has ever split; in one case the client resembles that emperor who is said to have been suffocated with the bedclothes, which were only designed to keep him warm; in the other, that town which let the enemy take possession of its walls, in order to show the world how little they depended upon aught but courage for safety.—Goldsmith.

The just, though they hate evil, yet give men a patient hearing; hoping that they will show proofs that they are not evil.Sir P. Sidney.

Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe.-Burke.

All are not just because they do no wrong; but he who will not wrong me when he may, he is truly just.-Cumberland.

Justice delayed, is justice denied.-Gladstone.

At present we can only reason of the divine justice from what we know of justice in man. When we are in other scenes we may have truer and nobler ideas of it; but while in this life we can only speak from the volume that is laid open before us.Pope.

Justice, like lightning, ever should appear to few men's ruin, but to all men's fear.-Sweetman.

Justice advances with such languid steps that crime often escapes from its slowness. Its tardy and doubtful course causes many tears to be shed.-Corneille.

Strike if you will, but hear me.—Themistocles.

When Infinite Wisdom established the rule of right and honesty, He saw to it that justice should be always the highest expediency.- Wendell Phillips.

What is in conformity with justice should also be in conformity to the laws.-Socrates.

Justice shines in smoky cottages, and honors the pious. Leaving with averted eyes the gorgeous glare obtained by polluted hands, she is wont to draw nigh to holiness, not reverencing wealth when falsely stamped with praise, and assigning to each deed its righteous doom.-Eschylus.

God's mill grinds slow but sure.-Herbert.

Mankind are always found prodigal both of blood and treasure in the maintenance of public justice.-Hume.

Were he my brother, nay my kingdom's heir, such neighbor nearness to our sacred blood should nothing privilege him, nor partialize the unstooping firmness of my upright soul.-Shakespeare.

Justice is to give to every man his own.Aristotle.

If thou desire rest unto thy soul, be just. -He that doth no injury, fears not to suffer injury; the unjust mind is always in labor; it either practises the evil it hath projected, or projects to avoid the evil it hath deserved. -Quarles.

Justice without strength, or strength without justice-fearful misfortunes! — Joubert.

No obligation to justice does force a man to be cruel, or to use the sharpest sentence. A just man does justice to every man and to everything; and then, if he be also wise, he knows there is a debt of mercy and compassion due to the infirmities of man's nature; and that is to be paid; and he that is cruel and ungentle to a sinning person, and does the worst to him, is in his debt and is unjust.-Jeremy Taylor.

God gives manhood but one clue to success, utter and exact justice; that, he guarantees, shall be always expediency.Wendell Phillips.

Use every man after his desert, and who should escape whipping ?-Shakespeare.

Justice is the great and simple principle which is the secret of success in all government, as essential to the training of au infant, as to the control of a mighty nation. -Simms.

Justice is the first virtue of those who command, and stops the complaints of those who obey.-Diderot.

Justice is the idea of God; the ideal of

KINDNESS.

men; the rule of conduct writ in the nature of mankind.―Theodore Parker.

Justice is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together. Wherever her temple stands, and so long as it is duly honored, there is a foundation for social security, general happiness, and the improvement and progress of our race. And whoever labors on this edifice with usefulness and distinction, whoever clears its foundations, strengthens its pillars, adorns its entablatures, or contributes to raise its august dome still higher in the skies, connects himself, in name, and fame, and character, with that which is and must be as durable as the frame of human society.-Daniel Webster.

He who goes no further than bare justice, stops at the beginning of virtue.—Blair.

Justice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.Cicero.

Justice is the insurance we have on our lives and property, and obedience is the premium we pay for it.-Penn.

Justice, when equal scales she holds, is blind; nor cruelty, nor mercy, change her mind; when some escape for that which others die, mercy to those to these is cruelty. -Denham.

The sentiment of justice is so natural, and so universally acquired by all mankind, that it seems to be independent of all law, all party, all religion.-Voltaire.

Justice is the bread of the nation; it is always hungry for it.-Chateaubriand.

An honest man nearly always thinks justly.-Rousseau.

Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.-Goethe.

The drying up a single tear, has more of honest fame, than shedding seas of gore.Byron.

Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, shall win my love.-Shakespeare.

defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.-Penn.

Kind looks, kind words, kind acts, and warm handshakes-these are secondary means of grace when men are in trouble and are fighting their unseen battles.— John Hall.

He hath a tear for pity, and a hand open as day for melting charity.—Shakespeare.

You may find people ready enough to do the Samaritan without the oil and twopence.-Sydney Smith.

Paradise is open to all kind hearts.Béranger.

Kind words produce their own image in men's souls; and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not yet. begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used.-Pascal.

Each one of us is bound to make the little circle in which he lives better and happier. Bound to see that out of that small circle the widest good may flow.

Kindness in ourselves is the honey that blunts the sting of unkindness in another. -Landor.

An effort made for the happiness of others lifts above ourselves.-L. M. Child.

Ask thyself, daily, to how many illminded persons thou hast shown a kind disposition.-Marcus Antoninus.

There will come a time when three words, uttered with charity and meekness, shall receive a far more blessed reward, than three thousand volumes written with dis
