Money is a useful servant , but s tyrannical master . Uncurbed liberty is bound to lead to law . 644666 . If every fool were crowned we should all be kings . The average man's worst enemy is under his own hat . Sweeping assertions throw dust in lots of people's eyes . Envy is blind , and can only disparage the virtes of others . Leave luck to fools , and act as though it had no existence . Death should set the seal of silence on lips that cannot praise . Some folks mistake their laziness for the virtue of patience . There is a big difference between a wish and a dogged resolution . The virtues are never the stronger for giv ng them a vacation . The ladder of success is composed of round after round of failure . What a blessing is the man who always carries sunshine on tap . Pity the man who makes mistakes and takes no profit from them . Let dissensions always come from others , reconciliations from yourself . Accuse not Nature ; she hath done her part ; do thou but thine . - MILTON .

Health of body and the resulting elasticity of mind are of supreme importance to everyone living under the strenuous conditions of modern times . The person who is " out of sorts , " " off colour , " or " below par " is not in a condition to make the most of life . Now , the necessity of keeping the organs of digestion in a . thoroughly clean and active state can never be too strongly emphasised , since they are the channels through which the body receives its nourish ment . It is therefore a wise , as well as a simple course , never TO BE WITHOUT Beecham's Pills . the tonic , corrective and curative properties of which promote a healthy action of the liver , stomach , kidneys and bowels , thereby rendering the work of digestion and arsimilation easy and satisfactory .
