The future always holds something for a man who keeps his faith in it. Give the best you've got today. That's a recipe for "a better tomorrow". If you lose your temper, it is a sign that you "have wrong on your side". A nation is no stronger than the character of its citizens. One way to "get on" is to find a better way of doing things. Shallow men believe in luck. Wise men and strong men believe in cause and effect. Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the others. Nothing will ever be attempted if you first must overcome "all possible objections". You are only doing your best when you are trying to improve what you are doing. Everything comes to him who waits ... if he works while he waits. Every good desire is a promise of what can be. if you earn it. The best way "to have face", is to keep the lower half of it shut more. I A MAN'S Teach mc that 60 minutes pound, and 100 cents a dollai can lie down at night with haunted by the faces of th brought pain. Clrant that I n the sc|uare. and in earning it would have them do unto m of tainted money. Blind me t and reveal to me my own . . to laugh with little children considerate of old a^e.

A determined man can do more with a rusty wrench than a loafer can do with all the tools in a machine shop. The "law of attraction" is universal. Everything works together for good, to those who sincerely believe in the good. The man who "never had a chance" is the man who wouldn't recognize a chance if he met it walking in the street in broad daylight. A small penny will hide the biggest star in the universe ... if you hold it close enough to your eye. Emerson once said, "Every man I meet is in some way my superior, and in that way I can learn from him." Tliis is the final test of a gentlemen, "That he shows his respect for those who can be of no possible use to him." A recipe for avoiding taxes; "Don't smoke, don't drink. don't eat, don't use gasoline, don't buy anything, don't live, and don't die." There is far more hunger for love and appreciation, in this world, than there is "hunger for bread". Do you help any? I'RAYKK make an hour.
