I remember little of the Yukon or what I wrote there.

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

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

Our breath is brief, and being so Let's make our heaven here below, And lavish kindness as we go.

The only society I like is rough and tough, and the tougher the better. There's where you get down to bedrock and meet human people.

Be sure your wisest words are those you do not say.

Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
