About this book
Thoughts gathers selections from the writings of favorite authors, including advice about speech, friendship, kindness, duty and the thoughts people choose to entertain. A selection credited to Henry Ward Beecher advises avoiding sarcasm, refusing to complain and speaking well of others or keeping silent. A selection credited to Henry D. Thoreau asks that friends be judged by their intentions rather than their actions or outward appearances.
A saying credited to David Starr Jordan distinguishes knowing what to do, knowing how to do it and actually doing it. A selection credited to Charles Kingsley urges noble deeds rather than spending the day dreaming about them.
