Avoid extremes: be moderate In saving and in spending; An equable and easy gait Will win an easy ending.

It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe.

Write verse, not poetry. The public wants verse. If you have a talent for poetry, then don't by any means mother it, but try your hand at verse.

The Wanderlust has got me... by the belly-aching fire

Carry on! Carry on! Fight the good fight and true; Believe in you mission, greet life with a cheer.

The trails of the world be countless, and most of the trails be tried; You tread on the heels of the many, till you come where the ways divide;And one lies safe in the sunlight, and the other is dreary and wan,But you look aslant at the Lone Trail, and the Lone Trail lures you on.

Ah! the clock is always slow; it is later than you think.
