It Is A Great Thing To Have

People Who Look Down Never Get Much Of An Idea Of The Sky Where The Stars Are Set. And The Fellow Who Doesn't Hitch At Least One Or Two Of His Wagons To A Star Never Gets Very High Up. Get Your Eyes Off The Ground. Look Ahead.

If You Have Nothing To Do, Look At Yourself And See If There Isn't Something Close At Hand That You Can Improve. It May Make You Wealthy, Although It Is More Likely It Will Make You Happy.

Nearly All Our Ills Are The Result Of Neglect In Some Way Or Other. And This Truth May Be Said To Apply To The Ills Of Nations As Well. Negligence Is At The Bottom Of All Decay. And Decay Always Starts By Showing Little Signs-or Warnings. Then Is The Time To Show Interest And To Be Alert. There Is Nothing Quite So Easy As To Neglect, And Nothing Quite So Difficult As To Repair That Negligence. Negligence Always Carries A High Price. It Costs Nothing To Avoid It!

Sailing A Boat Calls For Quick Action, A Blending Of Feeling With The Wind And Water As Well As With The Very Heart And Soul Of The Boat Itself. Sailing Teaches Alertness And Courage, And Gives In Return A Joyousness And Peace That But Few Sports Afford.

The Further You Get From Nature, The Less Happy You Are; And The Nearer, The More Exultant You Become Over The World And All That There Is In It.
