We all have leisure for what we

Never be careless, even about what
IS called unimportant
Walk in the country. so that thy

Follow this sound and safe rule OF
life. TO indulge the body just so much
as its health requires. asknowl-
edge that it should be cared for and
favored, but deny that It should
be served for he who serves it serves
many masters.
deny that riches are good in

are worth having. and may be of
ereat help in life
Zeno said to one who was more
DESTROYS TO talk than to listen: Young
man, Nature has given us two cars.
and but one tongue, i'm order that we
may bear twice as much as we speak.
Nature, conscious of her own wis

servers of lofty spectacles.
The mind can reach nothing grand

strength of mind can come in no
other way than by diligence Of study

As thou thinkest most often, so
will be thy character; for by the
thoughts the soul is dyed.
Mans worth is that Of those
things about which he is busy.
Before we form friendship we
should criticise but after forming
DO. We should only trust.
a man cannot retain his wisdom
unless he has friends like himself.
The highest and hottest ideas are best
