|
Men who have half a dozen irons in the fire, are not the ones to go crazy. It is the man of voluntary or compelled leisure who mopes and pines and thinks himself into the mad-house or the grave. Motion is in all of nature's laws. Action is man's salvation, physical and mental . . . he only is wise who lays out his work to life's latest hours.
