Some Glimpses: * Manners make the a man. We should be uniformly courteous to all...humility marks an educated man. *It is more fitting for a man to laugh over life, than lament over it. *The art of writing letters is worth culivating, for one's own sake, and for the sake of others. *Start building a library, of your own (if you do not already have one)...learn by heart significant speeches or passages...be a student all through your life. *'I have developed a such a detached attitude to food where taste is concerned that life is so much easier, and the hazard of becoming a victim to contaminated food are almost nil.'
