But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.—PHIL. iii, 13, 14.

Fear to do base, unworthy things is valor;

If they be done to us, to suffer them is valor too.

BEN JONSON.

Perfect valor consists in doing without witnesses all we should be capable of doing before the whole world.

ROCHEFOUCAULD.

Valor consists in the power of self-recovery.

R. W. EMERSON.

Life, like war, is a series of mistakes, and he is not the best Christian nor the best general who makes the fewest false steps. He is the best who wins the most splendid victories by the retrieval of mistakes. Forget mistakes; organize victory out of mistakes.

F. W. ROBERTSON.
