Nothing Gold Can Stay
- Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
"Character is what you are in the dark"
- Dwight L. Moody
"Good timber does not grow with ease:
the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees."
- J. Willard Marriott
"Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you,
opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought."
- Henry David Thoreau
RESOLUTIONS
No one will ever get out of this world alive. Resolve therefore to maintain a reasonable sense of values.
Take care of yourself. Good health is everyone's major source of wealth without it, happiness is almost impossible.
Resolve to be cheerful and helpful. People will repay you in kind.
Avoid angry, abrasive persons. They are generally vengeful.
Avoid zealots, They are generally humorless.
Resolve to listen more and to talk less. No one ever learns anything by talking.
Be chary of giving advice. Wise men don't need it and fools won't heed it.
Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the wrong. Sometime in life you will have been all of these.
Do not equate money with success. There are many successful money makers who are miserable failures as human beings. What counts most about success is how a person achieves it.

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
- Epictetus
The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his
happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.
