Smith lVt UIET simplicity is the expression of a strong, courageous spirit. llJ The oue who has something to say, that needs saying, speaks in clear terms. He has lived with an idea, thought it through o its simplest terms, and has felt the power of truth stir within ,i m . He understands that power needs no bolstering, and allows t the dignity of forthright expression. Quiet manners are the indication of a serene mind, controlled and directed by a cultivated intelligence. Greatness never has to lift Youth needs to learn simplicity. Direct and candid by nature, the young people readily understand candor of speech and action. When they turn from the simple ways and copy the futile fussiness of their frightened elders it is because they have caught the fear that drives men into hiding. If they lose their first, open, generous candor it is not because they would choose to lose it. They have lost their way among the clutter which has been thrown into their lives. It is time that we claimed the dignity of manhood and womanhood secure in our own right. The time is here when each of us must declare for the simplicity of the human spirit, for its freedom from the unessentials. YES, WHY NDT THINK? It’s a little thing to do; Just to think. Anyone, no matter who, Ought to think. Take a little time each day From the minutes thrown away, Spare it from you work or play, Stop and think. You will find that we who fail Do not think. Men who find themselves in jail Do not think. Half the trouble that we see, Trouble brewed for you and me, Probably would never be If we’d think. Shall we journey hit-or-miss, Or shall we think? Let’s not go along by guess, But rather to ourselves confess It would help us more or less If we’d think. Youth is the time to study wisdom; Old age is the time to practise it. — Rousseau.
