A Half-hearted Spirit Has No Power. Tentative

All Human Beings Seek The Happy Life, But Many Confuse The Means - For Example, Wealth And Status - With That Life Itself.

The Really Worthwhile Things Are The Virtuous Activities That Make Up The Happy Life, Not The External Means That May Seem To Produce It.

At Every Occasion In Your Life, Do Not Forget To Commune With Yourself And Ask Of Yourself How You Can Profit By It.

Choose The Life That Is Noblest, For Custom Can Make It Sweet To Thee.

If You Have Anything Better To Be Doing When Death Overtakes You, Get To Work On That.
