the gift but the giving. It is quality, not quantity, that counts. Do not measure a person's length by your personal prejudices. The man who never had an enemy is too good for this world. "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink." You can send a boy to college, but you cannot make him think. The dog hates the cat, and the cat hates the dog, but when they are friends there are no truer ones. Just take the world as it is; take things as to be had. Your friends may not be quite so good, your foes not quite so bad. It is the aggregate that counts. The almighty dollar is getting smaller every day. It is fashionable to be lazy.

Sometimes finance gets men into positions for which they are not qualified. We must abandon that ancient superstition that a dollar has any financial value. Where a cat and a canary are brought up together, the cat ultimately gets the canary. If a man does not support his country during the war, what can he expect after the war is over? There is not a misunderstanding but that can be adjusted amicably if it is gone about in the right spir
