• The joy of feeling fit physically is reflected in a clearer and more useful mind. You may read and study forever, but you come to no more important truthful conclusions than these two: I.Take care of yur body (eat and exercise properly), and your mind will improve. 2. Work hard, and be polite and fair, and your condition in the world will improve. No pills, tablets, lotions, philosophies, will do as much for you as this simple formula I have outlined. The formula is not of my invention. Every intelligent man of experience since time began has taught it as a natural fact.

• The most agreeable thing in life is worthy accomplishment. It is not possible that the idle tramp is as contented as the farmers along the road who own their own farms, and whose credit is good at the bank in town.

The sounder your argument, the more satisfaction you get out of it.

• There is no Sure Thing, but the surest is a good job well attended to, for steady promotion is almost certain; and no one can help you in holding a good job except Old Man You. Some say an active commercial club, an up-and-coming community, a good pastor, a reform administration at Washington, are necessary; others say a man is made by his wife or mother, but Old Man You really does it, or doesn't do it; many teach what is called good sense, but only you may acquire it.

• There is nothing so well known as that we should not expect something for nothing - but we all do, and call it hope.

  ---

• We must be truthful and fair in the ordinary affairs of life before we can be truthful and fair in patriotism and religion.

  ---

• What people say behind your back is your standing in the community in which you live.

  ---

• When a man is trying to sell you something, don't imagine he is that polite all the time.

  ---

• When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't any.

  ---

• When people hear good music, it makes them homesick for something they never had, and never will have.

  ---

• Un homme est admiré pour sa modestie, si jamais les gens entendaient parler de lui.
