Don't for a moment entertain the
idea that you live by yourself or
that you are independent of your
neighbors. They can not prosper
without your being in some way
benefited. Whatever helps your
fellow-citizens, your town or your
state, helps you. A man is out OF

nature with a mind so narrow that
he can only appreciate direct bene'
