There are more shining qualities in the mind of man, but there is none so useful as discretion.-Addison.

Discretion is the perfection of reason and a guide to win all the duties of life.-Addison.

The greatest parts, without discretion, may be fatal to their owner.Hume.

Dreams.

Beware that thou never tell thy dreams in company; for notwithstanding thou mayest take a pleasure in telling thy dreams, the company will take no pleasure in hearing them.Epictetus.

A body may as well lay too little as too much on a dream, but the less we heed them the better.-L'Estrange.

In dreams, the picturing power of the mind is active, whilst the attention, the judgment, and the will are dormant. -Household Words.

What studies please, what most delight,

And fills men's thoughts, they dream them o'er at night.

Dress.

The peacock, in all his pride, does not display half the colours that appear in the garments of a British lady when she is dressed.-Addison.

Dress drains our cellar dry,
And keeps our larder clean.

-Cowper.

Beauty gains little, and homeliness and deformity lose much, by gaudy attire.-Zimmerman.

Men's apparel is commonly made according to their conditions, and often governed by their garments; for the person that is gowned is, by his gown, put in mind of gravity, and also restrained from lightness by the very unaptness of his weed.-Edmund Spenser.
