A Magazine Editor Recently Asked Me To Sit Down On My 40th Birthday And Write An Article On The Most Important Things I Had Learned In My First 40 Years. I Told Him That The Chief Thing I Had Learned Was That The Copybook Maxims Are True, But That Too Many People Forget This Once They Go Out Into The Heat And Hustle And Bustle Of The Battle Of Life And Only Realize Their Truth Once One Foot Is Beginning To Slip Into The Grave. The Man Who Has Won Millions At The Cost Of His Conscience Is A Failure.
