Then I became an ardent follower of the Master Philosopher, than whom no greater interpreter of human emotions ever lived.

In the matter of sage advice there has never been his equal.

In "_Hamlet_" we find the wonderful words of admonition from _Polonius_ in his farewell speech to his son _Laertes_--as good today as four hundred years ago, and they will continue to be so until the end of time.
It matters not how familiar we may be with these lines it is no waste of time to read them over again once in awhile.

They seem to fit the _practical side of life_ perfectly.

If we have any complaint by reason of their brusqueness we have only to temper our interpretation according to our own sense of justice.
