Never So Long As You Live, Write

There Is No Reason Why You Should Be Bored When You Can Be Otherwise. But If You Find Yourself Sitting In The Hedgerow With Nothing But Weeds, There Is No Reason For Shutting Your Eyes And Seeing Nothing, Instead Of Finding What Beauty You May In The Weeds. To Put It Cynically, Life Is Too Short To Waste It In Drawing Blanks. Therefore, It Is Up To You To Find As Many Pictures To Put On Your Blank Pages As Possible.

Coarse Or Profane Slang Is Beside The Mark, But "flivver," "taxi," The "movies," "deadly" (meaning Dull), "feeling Fit," "feeling Blue," "grafter," A "fake," "grouch," "hunch" And "right O!" Are Typical Of Words That It Would Make Our Spoken Language Stilted To Exclude.

No Rule Of Etiquette Is Of Less Importance Than Which Fork We Use.
