Use Life To Provide Something That Outlasts

Christmas Moves Us To Think Of Others Rather Than Of Ourselves & Directs Our Thoughts To Giving.

Happiness Is Normally The Prime Search Of Every Rational Human Being. One Way To Derive Increasing Happiness During The Year We Have Just Entered Is To Strive Diligently To Promote The Happiness Of Others, To Think Of Them First, Yourself Second. Happiness Is The Greatest Tonic, The Greatest Elixir, Of All. Worry Is Among The Worst Poisons. One Sensible New Year Resolution: I Will Do My Utmost To Have Consideration For Others, To Exercise Usefulness, To Radiate Happiness, To Conquer Worrying Over Things I Cannot Possibly Remedy.

What Would You Call America's Most Priceless Asset? Surely Not Its Limitless Natural Resources, Not Its Matchless National Wealth, Not Its Unequalled Store Of Gold, Not Its Giant Factories, Not Its Surpassing Railroads, Not Its Unprecedented Volume Of Cheap Power. Is Not Its Most Priceless Asset The Character Of Its People, Their Indomitable Self-confidence, Their Transcendent Vision, Their Sleepless Initiative And, Perhaps Above All, Their Inherent, Irrepressible Optimism?

For My Part, I Rather Distrust Men Or Concerns That Rise Up With The Speed Of Rockets. Sudden Rises Are Sometimes Followed By Equally Sudden Falls. I Have Most Faith In The Individual Or Enterprise That Advances Step By Step. A Mushroom Can Spring Up In A Day; An Oak Takes 50 Years Or More To Reach Maturity. Mushrooms Don't Last; Oaks Do. The Real Cause For An Enormous Number Of Business Failures Is Premature Over-expansion, Attempting To Gallop Before Learning To Creep. Sudden Successes Often Invite Sudden Reverses.

Uncertainty Hurts Business. It Annoys Individuals. Why Keep The Whole Country, Including Business And Individuals, In Uncertainty Over The Extent Of The Tax Burdens To Be Placed Upon Us? How Many Of Those Who Voted For Calvin Coolidge Imagined For A Moment That Would Do Nothing To Bring About Tax Relief Before 1926?.... But If The Administration Persists In Opposing A Special Session Then It Will Inevitably Be 1926 Before Action Is Taken.... Coolidge And Congress Should Ease Our Minds And Grease Our Activities By Reforming And Reducing Taxation As Soon As Feasible After March 4.
