Show JOSH BILLINGS' PHILOSOPHY. <br><br> Kindness iz never wholly wasted, but when you are dealing with mules, alwuss keep yure eye on their heels. <br><br> Sum men's humor iz like dried apples. - Answer, in our next. <br><br> Almost every boddy haz a hobby ov sum kind to ride. Thare iz nothing so easy to mount, and oft-times thare iz nothing that unmounts mutch easier. <br><br> Give me honesty fust, and after that enny thing yu please. <br><br> Most ov the literary kriticks ov the day are those who have failed in writing themselves, therefore they hak, and stab, and murder without mercy. <br><br> Fanaticks seldum undertake to prove their beleaf. They are satisfied to assert it. <br><br> Men of genius don't depend upon their memory; it is easier for them to kreate a new idea than to recall an old one. <br><br> Thare iz mutch the same difference between honor and honesty that thare iz between notoriety and reputashon. <br><br> Honest poverty has this advantage, all it owes, it owes to Heaven, and don't owe much there. <br><br> All the vices are relations, none more remote than first cousins. <br><br> To be a great man it iz not necessary that a man should be unlike others, but that he should allways be like himself. <br><br> Industry, without economy, iz like a bag with a hole at the bottom of it. <br><br> I never have yet heard ov a man becoming an infidel, or deserting Christianity on hiz death-bed. <br><br> God haz made but few things impossible, certainly non that ought to be possible. <br><br> The unthrifty are not only born so, but are fated to die so. <br><br> I beleave ther iz such a thing as a dishonest diffidence, also such a thing as honest impudence. <br><br> The man who acts from impulse generally acts right. <br><br> I observe that those who know the most beleave the most, it don't take but few branes to doubt and differ. |
