han to be a gossip. Every man thinks _his_ dog is an angel. It is not always the one who can afford it who keeps the hired servant. Since we can grow a new finger nail, why cannot we grow a new finger? The mouse is destructive only from man's point of view. When a man reaches forty he usually settles down to make the best of things. Sometimes we are called cranks because we will not be sat upon. The passing of time so quickly would not be so regrettable were life not so short. A good book has no ending. It is nothing to win a girl if you do not win her love also. The passing of time so quickly takes the pleasure out of everything. If you are popular, anything you say will rise into the air like a Zeppelin.

Politics are sometimes dangerous things. Be cheerful under all circumstances. The human race has mounted a treadmill which it must tread or perish. The strenuous industries of this world are man's unconscious efforts to preserve his increasing numbers from annihilation. Courtesy in business is the best policy. It takes three men's wages to sustain one family in an up-to-date fashion. Under the circumstances, it is almost necessary to be greedy and grasping. To be perfectly healthy we should adopt the exercises followed by our ancestors in climbing among the trees. It is not how much you can do or how quick you get through it, but the care that you take and how well you can do it. It is not
