Post 4.2

As requested by Dave, I will tag each old post as I did those of the first week. Today---or at least this morning---is a bit hectic. Hopefully I'll get to it by this evening. Here's your daily dose:

1. My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
2. Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
3. There is no need to be worried about facetious people who try the make the Christian hope of heaven seem ridiculous by saying that they do not want to, 'spend eternity playing harps.' The answer to such people is that if they cannot understand books written for grown-ups, they ought not talk about them.
4. Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.
5. First you want to kill me, now you want to kiss me. Blow.

Discuss.
