I quote here another of my maxims: "It is a wise man who knows when he is happy and can appreciate the divine bliss of the tangible _now_. Most of us retrospect or anticipate, and so lose the present." I QUOTE HERE ANOTHER OF MY MAXIMS IT IS A WISE MAN WHO KNOWS WHEN HE IS HAPPY AND CAN APPRECIATE THE DIVINE BLISS OF THE TANGIBLE KNELL MOST OF US RETROSPECT OR ANTICIPATE AND SO LOSE THE PRESENT
. Good-looking and attractive young women like you, Caroline, are bound to have many temptations to look elsewhere for diversions very soon after they are married. And here wisdom--quite apart from high principle--should teach you to resist as much as possible, because of the end. Ask yourself if it is worth while to start a ball rolling which can only roll down hill--if it is worth while, for the momentary gratification of vanity, to open a door which will let in complete disillusion for the life which you have undertaken to live. Because all forbidden excitements are like drugs--they have to be taken in stronger and stronger doses to produce their effect, until the patient is a wretched maniac or dies under the strain. Suggestion and a strong will are such great helps to happiness. Suggest to your subconscious mind that you are perfectly happy and contented with your legitimate mate--make the current between you one of tenderness and charm, and sternly control every unbalanced fancy.
