A smile costs nothing but gives much. It riches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes last forever. No man is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and no one can be so poor that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is natures best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give a smile. Give them one of yours, as no one needs a smile so much as he who has none to give. -These Times

The only life worth living is the adventurous life. Of such a life of dominate characteristic is that it is unafraid. It is unafraid of what people think. Like Columbus, it dares not only to assert a belief but live in the face of contrary opinion. It does not adopt either its pace or its objectives to the pace and objectives of its neighbors. It thinks its own thoughts, it reads its own books, it develops its own hobbies, and it is governed by its own conscience. The heard may graze where it pleases, but he who lives the adventurous life will remain unafraid when he finds himself alone. -Raymond B. Fosdick
