"WE LEARN mighty little in this life from success. Success feeds the ego. Failure chastens it. Success makes you look up, and the sun dazzles your eyes, Failure forces you to look down, and watch your step.

IT HAS BEEN SAI; tnlt "*u.r"iness consuttant is a man who knows less about your business than you do, and gets paid more for telling you how to run it than you could possibly make out of it, even if you ran it right instead of the way he told you.

.Said a modern philosopher: "Keep your heart free from hate, and your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much; fill your life with love, scatter good will, forget yourself as much as you can; think of others and do as you would be done by." ***

following wise words: "I feel quite sure that there will be no permanent peace in this world by any method other than by a shifting in the areas of the human heart from the desire to fight to the desire for neighborliness.

She wrote: "Just write me a single word and your signature, Mr. Kipling, for my autograph book. I understand you get paid a pound a word for your writing, so I enclose a pound." And right away she got a reply from Kipling with one word: "Thanks."
