Honesty in little things is not a little thing.

On the contrary, it is the great point in life.

Honesty is exact to a penny.

It is in such little matters that genuine integrity is seen.

Honesty is the best policy.

But he who is honest out of policy is not an honest man.

Honey is sweet, but bees sting.

Honour and fame from no condition rise:
Act well your part-there all the honour lies.

Honour your parents, and your children will honour you.
Hope and strive is the way to thrive.

Hope is sweet music.

It is the music of the future, with an undertone of heavenly song.

Hope may be drenched, but it cannot be drowned.
Hope well, and have well.

Horse-racing is a galloping consumption.

That is to say, for the pocket, the reputation, the morals, and the soul. Racing is supposed to improve the breed of horses, but it sadly deteriorates the breed of men.

Horses will do more for a whistle than for a whip.

That is to say, as a regular thing. Of course the whip may do wonders for a moment, but the constant use of it is infamous. When kindly used the horse becomes intelligent, and performs marvels without requiring so much as a harsh word.

Hot heads make their brains bubble over.

They take up with wild notions, and then nothing will do but they must run after them like wild horses. They are so hot that they scald other people, and at length they themselves evaporate in steam. It is a good rule to keep the head cool and the heart

warm.

How can a slut be a saint?

This is a hard question; and while it is being answered, the slut had better wash, and be clean. Godliness ought not to be lodged in a pig-sty.

How can he be godly who is not cleanly?

Time was when filth produced "the odour of sanctity"; but nasty saints are now held very cheap.

How easily a hair gets into the butter!

How readily do we err even in our best things!

"How not to do it" you shall see,

Just leave it to a committee.

Resolutions will be passed, and the business will be past too; or else the committee as a whole will do what no man among them would be bad enough to do by himself.

How oft the fear of ill to ill betrays!

The fear is father to the fact: the dread brings on the calamity. Or, men do evil from fear of evil, and so ensure evil.

How will it look by daylight?

A very proper question to ask. Every secret thing must be revealed in the light of the day of judgment, if not before. Act as if all men saw you.

Live as in the light of day:
Nothing have to hide away.

However blind a man may be,

Another's faults he's sure to see.

However small a bush, it casts its shadow.

Everybody has some influence.

help in the hour of need.

Humility is better than gentility.

Everyone can render a little

A lowly deportment is the backbone of gentlemanly behaviour.

Hunger is fine sauce for plain dishes.

Hungry dogs will eat dirty puddings.

So, we suppose, will hungry men; but that is no reason for making them dirty. It is said that "we must all eat a peck of dirt before we die"; but we don't want it all at once. The proverb also means that men who are hungry for place and office will do very dirty things. Notice members of Parliament, and you will soon have proofs enough.

Hungry horses make clean mangers.

None are more ready to receive all the truth of God than those who feel and know their own spiritual need. There would not be so much picking and choosing of Scripture if the Lord had wrought a holy hunger in the soul.

Husbands can earn money, but only wives can save it.
Hypocrites will serve God while God serves them.

Yes, and they will just as soon serve the devil if it answers their purpose better. They are mere traders in the market, and they will buy or sell as the price may happen to go.

Sayings of a more Spiritual Sort.

Halfway to Christ is a dreadful place.

A dreadful place to stop in; for it tempts to presumption, and yet it is no better than being far off.

Have a good memory. keep it holy.

Remember the Sabbath-day to

A minister, one Sunday, was accosted by a man, who said, "Sir, have you seen a family going along here travelling? "What sort of family were they?" said the good man. "Oh, they had a cart." "Yes," said the minister. "Were they a family with short memories?" "I don't know much about that," said the young man. "What do you mean?' "Why," replied the divine, I thought they must be, for it is written, Remember the Sabbath-day, to keep it holy,' and they seem to have forgotten it." There are many families with short memories nowadays.

He alone lives who lives to God alone.

The rest is death. Paul saith, "She that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth."-1 Timothy v. 6.

He gains a loss who shuns the cross.
He is no man who needs no mending.

IIo is safe who is where God puts him,
Ilo is right who is what God makes him.

He knows God who initates him.

Certainly imitation is the truest form of praise. It can only be carried out so far as the great Original is known to us.

He loseth nothing that keepeth God for his friend.

He only is a Christian indeed who is a Christian in deeds. He pleases God best who trusts him most.

"Without faith it is impossible to please God"; but with much of it we can delight him.

He prizes grace too little who prizes gifts too much.

He shall have hell as a debt who will not have heaven as a gift.

He shall never want mercy that does not wanton with mercy.

And even he that has so wantoned with mercy shall obtain it if he turn and repent; for the Lord is not only merciful, but he is mercy full.

He that believes God for the event must believe him for the means also.

If the harvest is sure you must be sure to make sure the sowing.

He that can repel a temptation to gain, gains by the temptation.

He that contemns a small sin commits a great one.

He that doth not fear God continually has cause for continual fear.

He that doth not hear the Word of God to his renovation, shall hear it to his condemnation.

He that falls into sin is a man

He that boasts of sin is a devil;

He that grieves over sin is a Christian;

He that forgives sin is God.

He that forsakes the truth of God, forsakes the God of truth.

He that good thinketh good may do,
And God will bless him thereunto:
For no good work was ever wrought
Without beginning in good thought.

Want of thought is a far more pernicious want than it may seem to be. "I thought upon my ways," said the Pealmist," and turned unto thy statutes."

He that hath Jesus Christ for his daily bread, may (without sin) fare sumptuously every day.

He that is graceless in the day of grace will be speechless in the day of judgment.
