(“Think”)
“Thoughts Are the Masters and the Thinkers Are the Doers.” — Confucius
One of the most successful of teachers is a Montreal Principal—successful because she insistently teaches undergraduates to THINK. Force of thought is better than force of will. A triphammer is all force, but unless guided by a THINKER strikes a pile or a cream-puff with equal power. Then there is the nagger with a tongue-will of poiseless perpetual power but—thought-proof.
Do you as host, hostess or guest want a spur to cleverness of thought, wit and repartee?
Do you fail in clearness of thought and expression—especially in conversation?
Do you teach, preach—or lecture?
Do you dictate at home(?) at office—or both?
Do you want to give straight-to-the-point advice to your children, your friends, your employees and YOURSELF?
If an employer you will commend KEYSTONES OF THOUGHT to your employees—surely to the stenographers.
If easily discouraged, a victim of worry, fear, the blues, “Keystones” is your prescription.
Is Christianity a Failure? Have you an active or passive grouch against the clergy (a now fashionable disease usually confined to the middle aisle) because of “what they say and do and because of the way they live”?
Do you want something to “crib” for public dinners and other occasions? The “greatest after-dinner speaker in the world” is a New Yorker. Never lengthy, always aphoristic, he says more in five minutes than all the “wax-works” on the dais drone or spout in hours.
THEN READ
KEYSTONES of THOUGHT
By AUSTIN O’MALLEY, M.D., Ph.D., LL.D.
The only book of original and genuine aphorisms in English.
Written by “the World’s master of aphoristic thought
and expression.”
“The successful aphorist is about ten thousand times scarcer than the successful essayist, or story teller, or Assyriologist. Humor without effort, wit without bitterness, philosophy without pretension! Dr. O’Malley has written a book that is worth possessing.”—From a review of the book written by the editor of the N. Y. Sun himself.
NOTE: Whether young or old, Sage or Seer, Poet, Philosopher, or what-not, if you think YOU can match KEYSTONES OF THOUGHT in aphoristic originality, in depth, deftness, wit, wisdom and humor—in tonic-cheer for all of life’s worries, troubles and adversities, you are welcome to try. If successful The Devin-Adair Company will send you a check for an acceptable but well-earned sum, and your work will be promptly published.

28 If men quarrel, and one strike a woman with child, and she miscarry indeed, but live herself, he shall be answerable for so much damage as the woman’s husband shall require and as arbiters shall award. But if her death ensue thereupon, he shall render life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
