Savings represent much more than mere money value. They are the proof that the saver is worth something in himself. Any fool can waste; any fool can muddle; but it takes something more of a man to save and the more he saves the more of a man he makes of himself. Waste and extravagance unsettle a man's mind for every crisis; thrift, which means some form of self-restraint, steadies it.

Most amusements only mean trying to win another person's money.

Our hearts where they rocked our cradle, Our love where we spent our toil, And our faith, and our hope, and our honor, We pledge to our native soil. God gave all men all earth to love, But since our hearts are small, Ordained for each one spot should prove Beloved over all.

All the people like us are we, and everyone else is They.

The glory of the garden lies in more than meets the eye.

Go softly by that river side Or when you would depart, You'll find its every winding tied; And knotted round your heart.

Well, if I am a man, a man I must become.
