BE cheerful; spend your life in return
ing thanks that you are alive. Rejoice
be happy, make as many people happy as
you can. Live we'll and live long. You will
never have another chance
| Never resist impulses of generosity; they
| will make you cheerful-nay, healthy. They
give color to your cheeks, and prevent your
flesh, in old age, from turning INTO yellow,
dried-up parchment. Come home with your
pockets full of presents for the children
There is no luck in this world, no tate.
no predestnatio There is character. anu
there is also talent. but it is of no use
without the partnership and the suprem-
| acy of character"
| with character. even without talent, you
can succeed everywhere. If you have talent
| besides, to place at the disposal or char-
acter, as its servent then the world be-
| longs to you"
| '"Talent helps a man to obtain success,
hut it is character which secures 1t Tor

very little talent, and will never succeed
without character, whatever talent he may
have at his disposal"
by character, l mean honesty, tact
perseverance, industry. sobrety, self-con-
troll, reliability and strict punctuality."
Submit to the inevitable as gracIously
as you can. There is no help for it; there
fore, make the best of bad job and nave
done with it. Do not waste your time, your
money, your strength or your intelligence
over the inevitable. Forget it and think
of the next best thing you can do for
yourself"

| Have a little quotation book in which
| to lot down the best passages or the ones
| that strike you most forciby from the
books you read" Many people regard thelr
books as their vost valued possessions, so
when we borrow books, we should not be
so thoughtless as to place them where the
children can get them, some do.
Best wishes to all for prosperous and
