Angels.—­If you woo the company of the angels in your waking hours, they will be sure to come to you in your sleep.—­G.D.  Prentice.

The accusing spirit, which flew up to heaven’s chancery with the oath, blushed as he gave it in; and the recording angel, as he wrote it down, dropped a tear upon the word and blotted it out forever.—­Sterne.

There are two angels that attend unseen
Each one of us, and in great books record
Our good and evil deeds.  He who writes down
The good ones, after every action closes
His volume, and ascends with it to God. 
The other keeps his dreadful day-book open
Till sunset, that we may repent; which doing,
The record of the action fades away,
And leaves a line of white across the page. 
Now if my act be good, as I believe it,
It cannot be recalled.  It is already
Sealed up in heaven, as a good deed accomplished. 
The rest is yours. 

          
                          —­Longfellow.

When angry, count ten before you speak; if very angry, a hundred.  —­Jefferson.

An angry man opens his mouth and shuts up his eyes.—­Cato.

When a man is wrong and won’t admit it, he always gets angry.  —­Haliburton.
