...Modern man is under terrific psychological pressure...
...He must, therefore, exercise greater watchfulness over personal conduct...
...We cannot afford to waste resources which are difficult, if not impossible to replace...
...Why should we build ourselves up physically with vitamins, minerals, and innumerable modern
remedies only to tear ourselves down by destructive outbursts of emotions...
...If we want to live long and remain useful, we must live well
and develop a reasonable degree of patience...
...There are too many instances in which an outburst of temper has been followed
by a serious and even fatal physical reaction...
...The reward of a good disposition is a good life...
...Perhaps the love of our families and the respect of our friends are worth self-control...
