Weak Men Wait For Opportunities; Strong Men

Society Is To The Individual What The Sun And Showers Are To The Seed. It Develops Him, Expands Him, Unfolds Him, Calls Him Out Of Himself. Other Men Are His Opportunity. Each One Is A Match Which Ignites Some New Tinder In Him Unignitible By Any Previous Match. Without These The Sparks Of Individuality Would Sleep In Him Forever.

Laughter Brightens The Eye, Increases The Perspiration, Expands The Chest, Forces The Poisoned Air From The Least-used Cells, And Tends To Restore That Exquisite Poise Or Balance Which We Call Health.

There Is Only One Thing For Us To Do, And That Is To Do Our Level Best Right Where We Are Every Day Of Our Lives; To Use Our Best Judgment, And Then To Trust The Rest To That Power Which Holds The Forces Of The Universe In His Hands.

We Cannot Separate Our Lives From Time. Why Is It That We Are So Extravagant, So Thoughtless, In Our Waste Of Time, Especially In Youth, When We Cling So Tenaciously To Life? You Cannot Separate A Wasted Hour From The Same Duration Of Your Life. If You Waste Your Time, You Must Waste Your Life. If You Improve Your Time, You Cannot Help Improving Your Life.

Your Outlook Upon Life, Your Estimate Of Yourself, Your Estimate Of Your Value Are Largely Colored By Your Environment. Your Whole Career Will Be Modified, Shaped, Molded By Your Surroundings, By The Character Of The People With Whom You Come In Contact Every Day.
