Keep a definite goal of achievement constantly in view. Realize that work well and worthily done makes life truly worth living.

Discreetly keep most of your radical opinions to yourself. When with people be a listener a large part of the time. Be considerate in every word and act, and resist the tendency to say clever things. The best evidence of your culture is the tone and temper of your conversation.

There are many fine things which you mean to do some day, under what you think will be more favorable circumstances. But the only time that is yours is the present.

Books are ever available friends, ready to serve you at will.

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.

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.

Today is the day in which to attempt and achieve something worthwhile.
