PAGE 6 | |UD Cause AT THAT Samuel Butler, critic, philosopher, novelist, was born in| England in 1835 and lived until 1902. His early active life was spent as a New Zealand sheep | rancher on a large scale, and here he began the habit of carrying a note book to record his observances as they | sprang ‘from him. | As he said: “Ideas fly so fast that it is well to shoot | them on the wing—don't try to put salt on their tails.” He drew upon these notes for his sustained works, in best known. at Much of the philosophy of George Bernard Shaw has its | basis in that of Samuel Butler, and Shaw acknowledges it} in one of his prefaces. : | A selection of his notes has been compiled under the | title, “The Note Book of Samuel Butler,” from which the} following epigrams were taken: Tact is golden—not. silence. ‘ | Life is one igh ohne? of getting tired. ; | The world will always be governed by self-interest. | The true laws of God are those of our own well-being. | A hen is simply an egg’s way of producing another egg. All reason is against life and all healthy instincts are for it. ss Intellectual over-indulgence is the worst form excess can e. It is the function of vice to’ keep virtue within reason- 1 able bounds. lig ‘A healthy stomach is nothing if not conservative; few 14 radicals have good digestions. ih { A sense of humor will keep a man from committing all sins save those worth committing. me There is more gold in the eyes and ears of the public than in quartz, but it is harder to prospect. | People are lucky according to the ratio between what they get and what they are led to expect. No matter what system of cunning checks we devise, we} must in the end trust some one who is not checked. | Woe unto the specialist who is not a pretty fair generalist, | ~ and the generalist who is not a bit of a specialist. | To love God is to have good health, good looks, good | any experience, a kindly nature and a fair balance in} ik. j If there are two worlds, we should make the best of both of them—particularly the one with which we are immediately concerned. The WillBe and the Has-Been touch us more than the/ Is; so we are more tender to children and old people than those in the prime of life.
