Man will LIVE.
THE THREE BEST THINGS IN THE WORLD
If you had choice of all qualities which man can possess, which
three would you declare most important?
This question is submitted as interesting every man. We give our
answer; if yours is different, send it here. ----
SELF-CONTROL.
JUSTICE.
IMAGINATION.
Those we think the most important elements in the human
character. A man fully and evenly equipped with all three would
be greater than any the world has known. ----
SELF-CONTROL you must start with.
It makes life worth while. It frees you from the danger of
remorse, the wasted time of self- reproach. It sees
opportunities as they come; saves you from damaging temptation.
It is as important to a brain as is physical equilibrium to a
work of masonry.
A man without self-control, a building out of plumb, cannot
endure.
JUSTICE.
It is the foundation of all reputation worth the having. It is
to man as necessary as the compass to a ship. It is the compass.
Justice will give reputation for greatness though you create
nothing great. It will win affectionate reverence in life and a
gratifying gravestone at life's end. ----
IMAGINATION.
Greatest gift to man. It finds him grovelling here a pithecoid
littleness.
