Error tolerates, truth condemns.--Fernan Caballero.

Toleration is the best religion.--Victor Hugo.

~Tongue~.--When we advance a little into life, we find that the tongue of man creates nearly all the mischief of the world.--Paxton Hood.

~Travel.~--Rather see the wonders of the world abroad, than, living dully sluggardized at home wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness.--Shakespeare.

Of dead kingdoms I recall the soul, sitting amid their ruins.--N. P. Willis.

The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and, instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.--Johnson.

To see the world is to judge the judges.--Joubert.

The bee, though it finds every rose has a thorn, comes back loaded with honey from his rambles, and why should not other tourists do the same.--Haliburton.

~Treason.~--Treason pleases, but not the traitor.--Cervantes.

The man was noble; but with his last attempt he wiped it out; betrayed his country; and his name remains to the ensuing age abhorred.--Shakespeare.

~Trifles.~--A snapper-up of unconsidered trifles.--Shakespeare.

A drop of water is as powerful as a thunderbolt.--Huxley.

Riches may enable us to confer favors; but to confer them with propriety and with grace requires a something that riches cannot give: even trifles may be so bestowed as to cease to be trifles.

~Truth.~--Veracity is a plant of Paradise, and the seeds have never flourished beyond the walls.--George Eliot.

All high truth is poetry. Take the results of science: they glow with beauty, cold and hard as are the methods of reaching them.--Charles Buxton.

Truth never turns to rebuke falsehood; her own straightforwardness is the severest correction.--Thoreau.

Whenever you look at human nature in masses, you find every truth met by a counter truth, and both equally true.--Charles Buxton.

Truth need not always be embodied; enough if it hovers around like a spiritual essence, which gives one peace, and fills the atmosphere with a solemn sweetness like harmonious music of bells.--Goethe.

Dare to be true; nothing can need a lie.--George Herbert.

We must never throw away a bushel of truth because it happens to contain a few grains of chaff; on the contrary, we may sometimes profitably receive a bushel of chaff for the few grains of truth it may contain.--Dean Stanley.
