are too valuable for that, Put

to them. So don't burn the leaves,

in life, you will succeed but if you
are indolent, improvident and
changeable you will come to no good.
A man must have purpose, he must
make up his mind what ho means to
be and do, OF he cannot reasonably
hope to succeed in this life.
