fluctuations of trade, accidents
by flood or fire, dishonesty of
business associates, or errors of
Judgment, cannot rob you of.
Your greatest investment must
be self.investment; investment
in health. in courage, in kind
linesS, in nobility of manhood
or womanhood.
Whoever you come in contact
with should be conscious of
your wealth; its influence
should radiate from every pore;
it should look out of your eyes;
ii should eXhale fragrance in
your speech; it should manifest
itself in your deeds; it should
shed warmth, light and com.
tort within its radius; it should
enrich your whole community.
Real riches should be like the
wealth of the rose, which ilings
out its beauty and fragrance tC
