Sooner or later, a man if he is wise, discovers that life is a mixture of good days and bad, victory and defeat, give and take.

It is great to love life. Accept life as a precious gift from the hand of God and strive to make the most of it.

Friendship, awareness, happiness, all of the arts of the good life, are brilliant beads strung on the golden cord of love.

Christmas is not in tinsel and lights and outward show. The secret lies in an inner glow. It's lighting a fire inside the heart. Good will and joy a vital part. It's higher thought and a greater plan. It's glorious dream in the soul of man.

Today's world needs change, alteration, renewal, and corrections of errors. It needs new ideas, new approaches, methods, plans, procedures, and new ways of doing things.

The novelty and originality there may stimulate what you need more of in this life. Have the daring to take a flight for the idea you believe in!
