"An American has room in his heart for every acre of its sunny soil; for every hill upon which the morning breaks; for every vale that cradles the evening shadows; for every stream that laughs back the image of the sun. I'm not only proud of every part of this country, but I'm proud of every man in every part' who, by the nobility of his character or the majesty of his intellect has added one star to this nation's crown of glory. They are our friends ! They are our countrymen ! They are our brothers !"

Jimmy Byrnes said long ago: "Russians are people you just can't do business with." They haven't changed a bit, Jimmy, they haven't changed.

Those who try to do something, and fail, are infinitely better than those who try* to* do* nothing-and succeed.

This was said of a politician of a ferv years back: "Inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and glorify himself."

Overeating "rra o*,.rarlolr*".. both evidences of a weak character. Whether in eating or drinking a man should keep his brains above his belt, and if he isn't man enough to do that, he should neither eat nor drink.

I lost another great friend recently. Surely the law of averages is giving us older fellows a fit. This man was independent, sturdy, self-poised, generous, susceptible, thrilled by a look or d touch, full of love, full of pity, car. rying the sorrows of others in his heart. And he died poor.

Don't be afraid to think. Men never get warts on the brain.

A cheerful salesman I*t rrf,**""ys that if you build a better mousetrap than the others, the world might, as the old story goes, beat a path to your door; but it wouldn't be to buy that better mousetrap. It would be beaten by cheese salesmen, trying to sell you bait.

Thomas Jefferson once said that "there does not exist an engine so corruptive of the Government and so demoralizing of the Nation as a public debt."

Not legislation so much as interpretation, has endangered the American Constitution in the last sixteen years by an abortive science of DEFINITION. Write the laws one way and then read them in an entirely different fashion was the fundamental legislative philosophy of the early New Deal. Often, when the definition is complete, the law may have little relation to the stuff that was written, but it serves the purpose of those who would substitute their own obsessions for our American Constitution.

Men who glory in their work in the contest for greater heights of human endeavor, are the world's inspiration and its hope.

What this country needs a lot more than it does a good five-cent cigar (although I see by the ads that THOSE are back) is for every ambitious man to have the assurance that industry, and frugality, and thrift, and honesty are reasonably certain to be rewarded with security, peace and independence. The greatest loss this nation has sustained in the last span of life lies in forgetting that the merit system of private enterprise is the best system ever devised.

Lots of men have plenty of backbone, but fail because of the worry knob on an.* "n*O.t* end of it.

Of course it does not always happen in this vale of tears that good intent and tireless industry reap a rich reward. Too many men mistake ambition for ability-a longing for success for the power to achieve it.

"Nitor in Adversu*"-lo ,l"rl oro*ress by great effort, Burke said, was an ambitiou"**T'" best motto.

The human body is a temple in which dwells a spark of that Intelligence that we call God.

Dr. w. S. Adams, *o.iu ;*:"" astronomer of the Mt' Wilson observatory, declared his belief on all occasions that in the enormity of space through which rvhirl trillions of solar systems, many stars are inhabited by thinking beings. What possible reason is there for thinking otherwise? Surely we cannot be possessed of so infinite an ego as to believe that the human ants who inhabit one of the smallest of all the heavenly bodies are the only intelligent forms of life on all the quadrillions of stars. Why, for heaven's sake?

What this country needs very much indeed, is an abiding faith in the Constitution of the United States as the gr-atest charter of human liberty ever produced by the brain of man; and Congress and courts without ambition to subvert it.

Are you ready for a walk? Have you friends who consider and proclaim themselves to be enthusiastic walkers? Then consider the words of Henry D. Thoreau on the subject of walking, and see if you really ever knew any walkers. Thoreau said: "I have met with but one or two persons in the course of my life who understood the art of walking. Our expeditions are but tours, and come round again at evening to the old hearthstone from which we set out. Half the walk is but retracing our steps. If you are ready to leave father and mother and brother and sister, and wife and child and friends, and never see them again; if you have paid your debts and made your will and settled all your affairs and are a free man; then you are ready for a walk"' t< x< ri<

An American visitor in Germany asked a German how they distinguished between an optimist and a pessimist in that country now. "It's very simple," was the answer' "The optimists are learning English; the pessimists learn Russian."
