One would rather have wisdom than any ruby in the world. Why? Because wisdom is not only worth more mentally, but it is worth more than its weight in gold. If you had the rubies and lacked the wisdom you would soon lose all and have nothing. So make use of your school education; learn, work to learn; then someday you will realize what your education has, or would have, done had you applied your whole mind and thought to it. — Dorothy Conrad H9z ' SELF CONTROL Self control makes you stronger, more able to face facts as they are, and it makes you happier in many ways.

If we want the B we should work for it so we will be able to say honestly that we earned it, — Frank Veils H8v '
