If you have nice little farm or bust
ness, or steady employment and out of
debt, do not fret and worry yourself and
wife into the grave for the sake of
money. You have but one life to live
and that is brief at best. Take little
pleasure as you go along day by day,
and try to do little good to each other.
Wealth alone will never keep your
memory green after you have returned
