Home Maxims.
The following maxims, if put in practice daily, would do much to promote harmony and good feeling in the home:
“Never make a remark at the expense of the other; it is meanness.”
“Never manifest anger.”
“Never speak loud to one another, unless the house is on fire.”
“Never reflect on a past action which was done with a good motive, and with the best judgment.”
“Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. Besides, it may be that you will not meet again in life.”
“Let each one strive to yield oftenest to the wishes of the other, which is the mutual cultivation of an absolute unselfishness.”
