Self-reliance is ours and we must first use it for our own betterment. We will then have a surplus of energy to allow us to help others.
Solitude beats society, relaxation beats conventional function, and foolish so-called pleasures.
Our energy hours must be devoted to our purpose and ideals. Atween times we must rest, relax and recuperate the waste that strenuosity makes.
Breathe good air, bask in the sunshine, see nature and say to yourself, "All these treasures are for me, all these things I am part of."
Do not prepare for death, prepare for life. Preparing for death brings the end before your allotted time.
Like Job of old that which we fear will come to us. We must not think of death, or waste time preparing for it. It makes us miserable today. It makes us weak and fills us with fear and it draws the day of our departure nearer.
Today is ours. Live, freely, fully today. Be unafraid, unhurried, and undisturbed.
We are building character, and the way we build it is by mental attitude, by our acts, and the way we employ the precious time today.
Lay hold of the great forces of nature, realize the wonderful power of the will and you will be strong, a veritable king among men.
