Defeat isn't bitter if you don't swallow it.

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

Today a thousand doors of enterprise are open to you, inviting you to useful work.

Let the spirit of your work be right, and whether your task be great or small you will then have the satisfaction of knowing it is worth while.

Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of some less fortunate fellow traveler. Today you can make your life . . . significant and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with it as you will.

Cultivate the giving habit as you do the saving habit.

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.
