A Fine Ritual
If we live with the determination to understand this world of ours and to develop our capacities to the fullest' our lives will widen in scope and meanin,g. 'We need mental derricks to lift our minds out of deep ruts of conventionality, and a spiritual vacuum cleaning which will enable us to have new mental furniture in every aspect of our lives, instead of living in just three rooms of our mind' A hedthy curiosity and an ever expansive attitude toward the world will enrich life far more than confining creeds and narrowing rituals.
-Rev. John Walter Houck.
HE'LL RIDE AGAIN TOMORROW
Last night I read the Evening Times
And sandwiched in between the crimes
The ancient jokes and easy rhymes
I found this bit of sorrows:
"The Prince of Wales, that prince of men, Has fallen from his horse again".
And to this news was added then"Ile'll ride again tomorrow".
He'll ride again ? Aye, that he will ! He'll ride with courage, strength, and skill, He'll ride again. My pulses thrill
To read his lesson plain.
When Lady Luck, or Fate, the churlShall throw me down, I'll lightly twirl My waxed mustache, and say, "Old Girl, Tut, tut ! I'll ride again."
Most any man can jog along
The road of life when nothing's wrong; The test comes when you're thrown headlong, And cannot beg or borrow. But be ye Prince or renegade, You still can say to fate, "Old Jade, I may be down, but, unafraid, I'll ride again, tomorrow."
-Carey Holbrook
Not The Gas Station
Courtesy
Courtesy is the only medium of exchange which is accepted at par by the best people of every country on the globe. It is sentiment cloaked in reasonable and businesslike expression-the embellishment that adds tone and harmony to matter-of-fact routine-thp oil that lubricates the machine of commercial good fel,ldwship and promotes the smooth running of the manf-.units of an organization.
Courtesy radiates a spirit of good feeling that we are not working entirely for what we get out of work in a material way, but for the pleasure of polite transaction and friendly association as well. Life is not too short, and we are never too busy to be courteous, for courtesy is the outward expression of an inward consideration for others.
He Wanted To
The buxom woman was standing in the street car, holding to a strap. The cantankerous looking man was seated reading. The car swung and she stepped on his foot.
"Madam," he barked, "will you please get off my foot?"
"Put your foot where it belongs," she replied sharply.
"Don't tempt me, Madam, don't temPt me," he countered.
The Kickers
I don't mind a man with a red-blooded kick
At a real or fancied wrong;
I can stand for the guy with a grouch, if he's quick To drop it when joy comes along. , .-
I have praise for the fellow who says'what he thinks, Though his thoughts may not fit in with mine. But spare me from having to mix with the gl4ks' Who go through the world with a whine.
Poverty
Poverty is dishonorable, not in itself, but when it is a proof of laziness, intemperance, luxury and carelessness; whereas in a person that is temperatQ' industrious, just and valiant, and who uses all his virtudS for the public good, it shows a great and lofty mind.-Plutarch.
