To live continually in thoughts of ill will, cynicism, suspicion, and envy, is to be confined in a self made prison hole. TO LIVE CONTINUALLY IN THOUGHTS OF ILL WILL CYNICISM SUSPICION AND ENVY IS TO BE CONFINED IN A SELF MADE PRISON HOLE
ose face is drawn into inharmonious contours. The one is the result of a sweet and sunny disposition; the other is the outcome of passion and discontent. As you cannot have a sweet and wholesome abode unless you admit the air and sunshine freely into your rooms, so a strong body and a bright, happy, or serene countenance can only result from the free admittance into the mind of thoughts of joy and goodwill and serenity. On the faces of the aged there are wrinkles made by sympathy, others by strong and pure thought, and others are carved by passion: who cannot distinguish them? With those who have lived righteously, age is calm, peaceful, and softly mellowed, like the setting sun. I have recently seen a philosopher on his deathbed. He was not old except in years. He died as sweetly and peacefully as he had lived. There is no physician like cheerful thought for dissipating the ills of the body; there is no comforter to compare with goodwill for dispersing the shadows of grief and sorrow. WELL UNDER MIDDLE AGE WHOSE FACE IS DRAWN INTO INHARMONIOUS CONTOURS THE ONE IS THE RESULT OF A SWEET AND SUNNY DISPOSITION THE OTHER IS THE OUTCOME OF PASSION AND DISCONTENT AS YOU CANNOT HAVE A SWEET AND WHOLESOME ABODE UNLESS YOU ADMIT THE AIR AND SUNSHINE FREELY INTO YOUR ROOMS SO A STRONG BODY AND A BRIGHT HAPPY OR SERENE COUNTENANCE CAN ONLY RESULT FROM THE FREE ADMITTANCE INTO THE MIND OF THOUGHTS OF JOY AND GOOD WILL AND SERENITY ON THE FACES OF THE AGE THERE ARE WRINKLES MADE BY SYMPATHY OTHERS BY STRONG AND PURE THOUGHTS OTHERS ARE CARVED BY PASSION WHO CANNOT DISTINGUISH THEM WITH THOSE WHO HAVE LIVED RIGHTEOUSLY AGES CALM PEACEFUL AND SOFTLY MELLOWED LIKE THE SETTING SUN I HAVE RECENTLY SEEN A PHILOSOPHER ON HIS DEATH BED HE WAS NOT OLD EXCEPT IN YEARS HE DIED AS SWEETLY AND PEACEFULLY AS HE HAD LIVED THERE IS NO PHYSICIAN LIKE CHEERFUL THOUGHT FOR DISSIPATING THE ILLS OF THE BODY THERE IS NO COMFORTER TO COMPARE WITH GOOD WILL FOR DISPERSING THE SHADOWS OF GRIEF AND SORROW
