1t cannot be- too often repeated
that luxuries, not necessities, bring
ruin. We are ruined, not by what
we really want, but what we think
we want; therefore, never go abreast
in search of your wants-if they be
real ones, they will come home in
search of yon; for he who does not
want, will soon want what he can
not buy. ag mt lo
