Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing you have long postponed.

Be an earnest student of yourself. Study your leading desires and tendencies.

Today a thousand doors of enterprise are open to you, inviting you to useful work. To live at this time is an inestimable privilege, and a sacred obligation devolves upon you to make right use of your opportunities. Today is the day in which to attempt and achieve something worthwhile.

You can develop good judgment as you do the muscles of the body — by judicious, daily exercise.

It is often better to have a great deal of harm happen to one than a little; a great deal may rouse you to remove what a little will only accustom you to endure.

Let your desire for truth transcend all minor considerations. Ignorance is invariably confident. The man of knowledge learns to realize his own needs. Be honest and severe in your self-appraisal. Learn the art of learning, and you are well on the way to achievement. True greatness is reflective, not assertive.

Periods of wholesome laziness, after days of energetic effort, will wonderfully tone up the mind and body.
