Social.
(1) The rudest of all possible greetings is," You don't know me, r. So-and-So." A conversation never recovers from this opening.
(2) When a man intervenes with personal abuse and insult in courteous discussion of some matter of public interest, a gentleman can not answer without degrading him- self to his level. The cad, like a drunken street-walker, must be left in possession of the field.
[This has no reference tu a recent correspondence in the Ecruing Standard."
(3) Try to arrange your life in such a way that you can afford to be disinterested It is the most ex- pensive of all luxuries, and the best worth having.
(4) Under a good social order men are as bad as they dare to be under a bad social order they are as good as they dare to be.
(5) Personalise your sympathies; depersonalise your antipathies.
(6) Individual experience is al ways one-eyed. It takes more than one man to see anything in focus,
