“We live in a world where knowledge is developing at an ever-accelerating rate. Drink deeply from this ever-springing well of wisdom and human experience.”

Gratitude is a sign of maturity, Where there is appreciation: there is also courtesy and concern for the rights and property of others.

I hope you are reading to your children, out loud. That’s much better than watching television, much better. They won’t get very much out of television except some bad thoughts.

If you go to bed at 10:00 and get up by 6:00 A.M., things will work out for you.
