Diary of Julia C. Mock Siceloff, 1904-1925

March. 27, 1906.

When our pathway through life seems with trouble beset; With hope and good cheer let our worries be met.

If sorrows dark frown we would change to a smile, Lets count all our blessings - we'll find it worth while.

Psalm 121. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

A bridle for the tongue is a necessary piece of furniture

Where you cannot climb over, you must creep under.

A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning.

The two best books to a child are a good Mother's face and life

The virtues of modesty, candor and truth, In woman exceed all the beauty of youth.
