Blessed is the man who has found
his work.
The character of our thinking de-
termines the nature of our ideals.
Do not make so much of the failures
about you.
To widen your life without deepen
ing ii is merely to weaker 1t.
Give to the world the best you have
and the best will come back to you
The careless use Of other peoples
names is one Of the evidences of un-
trained thought.
What men want is lot talent, 1t is
not merely the power to
achieve but the will to labor.
BE done with the day when night
comes. You have done. Your best.
Forget the blunders.
Fin your place and fill 1t. No
matter how humble the place-hl it.
Determine to be a door Of something.
Often trials act as a hedge, to keep
US in the good pasture. Often pros
perity is a gap through which we go
astray.
Think of yourself as on the thres-
hold of success. A whole, clear, g1Ori-
Gus lift lies before you. Achieve, ac-
hieve.
Resolve that. like the sun, 50 long
as days last, you will look on the
bright side.
There is one thing better than maxi
ing a living. 1t is making life.
If bitterness has crept into the
| heart in the friction of the busy days
, unguarded moments, be sure it steals
away with the setting sun.
Study hard. But remember tina
study alone will not lead to heights
Of usefulness and success.
True greatness never happens. No
| man can fight another souls battles.
| Self-distrust is the course of many
failures in this life.
Avoid the small view, the fault
finders view. Run from gossip as
from a pestilence. Fill your soul with
great ideals.
The strength of your will is the
measure of your life's strength. Be
hind the will lies the heart and its
desire.
Good habits can be formed as east
~ as evil ones. Form good habits
He who goes through life with a
smile for every frown, a CHEEKY word
for every cross n and lending a help
ing hand to the unfortunate is, after
all, a good soul.
A certain moun Of opposition is
a great help to a man. Kites rise
against, but not with the wind.
How OOn the melenium would
come if everybody would do today
the things they intend to do tornor-
row.
Do not say you are too old. Age
is largely imagination. Ignore the
coming years, smile n age passes
you by.
That which is good to be done can
not be done too quickly. If it is neg
lected to be done early, too frequent
~ is it not done at all.
A wise old German ono said, 81

willingly, l enjoys me so much, I gives
it again"
The world is looking for the mar
who can do something, not for the
man who can explain" why he die
not do it.
To look over toward the nobles1
ideal for ones self, forgiving the 9TH
man his failure-this is indispensable
to right living.
Some men marry and settle doWr
but it would have done the world more
good if they had remained single anC
settled up.
Refinement is more a spirit than ar
accomplishment. True refinement
springs from a gentle, unselfsh heart
Without a refined spirit a refined life
is impossible.
