THE SKETCH 49 WISE SAYINGS OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN The discontented man finds no easy chair. As often as we do good, we sacrifice. He who gives promptly gives twice as much. Great talkers, little doers. He that cannot obey, cannot command. Approve not of him who commends all you say. Paintings and fightings are best seen at a distance. The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise. The use of money is all the advantage there is in having money. A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market. By diligence and patience the mouse ate the cable. Men take more pains to mask than to mend. I He that composeth himself is wiser than he that composeth books. After crosses and losses men grow humbler and wiser. Search others for their virtues, thyself for thy faults. Hear no ill of a friend nor speak any of an enemy. He that falls in love with himself will find no rival. I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. --ABRAHAM LINCOLN I will study and prepare myself and perhaps some day my chance will come. The Flag There are many flags in many lands There are flags of every hue, But there's never la flag in any land Like our own red, white and blue. -ABRAHAM LINCOLN I know where the prettiest colors are, Pm sure if I only knew How to get them here, I could make a flag Of our own red, white and blue. I would cut a piece from the evening sky, Where the stars were shining through, And use it just as it was on high For my stars and field of blue. Then I'd take a part of a fleecy cloud And some red from a rainbow bright, And I'd put them together, side by side, For my stripes of red and white. Then hurrah for the flag-our country's flag, lt's stripes and white stars, toog For there's never a flag in any land Like our own red, white and blue. -WARREN DoucI.As
