None so little enjoy life, and are
such burdens to themselves, as those
who have nothing to do.
Resolve on that course of life
which is most excellent, and habit
will render it the most delightful.
The active only have the true relish
of life. He who knows not what it
is to labor, knows not what it is to
enjoy. Recreation is only valuable
us it unbends us; the idle know moth
ing Of it.
Have a definite purpose in life.
Never lose sight of 1T. Think of it
by day; dream Of it by night. Push
early, late, often. Let your aim be
what 1t may in reason, and it win be
accomplished. All success is simply
this reduced to bare outline.
There is sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness,
but of power. They speak more elO-
quently than ten thousand tongues.
They are the messengers of over
whel,aing grief, of deep contrition,
and Of unspeakable love.
Never despair. 1t does no good.
Give up to it, and you suffer all man-
uer of unnecessary miseries. Rscol-
lcct that others have been in ten times
worse plights, have stoutly brayed
it out, snd made triumph. A
square purpose, decided will, and n
foot put solidly down, are all you
want.
