AFFLUENCE.
If you want both fame and money You will do just as you can; If you do not care for either You can do just as you will; And, among the moving masses, He will be the wisest man Who adopts these words of counsel That shall help him up life’s hill.
If you wish to be to-morrow What you cannot be to-day, You must make the most of moments While to-day is passing by; If you would do in the future What you really wish and pray, Do at present what you can do And be happy while you try.
Should you lose both fame and money You will prosper all the more,— For you’ll have an education That shall loose you from your chains And enable you to master What you could not learn before,— How to utilize resources And rely upon your brains.
