Laugh and Live

CHAPTER II
7/11

What does it matter if disappointments follow one after the other if we can _laugh and try again_?
Failures must come to all of us in some degree, but we may rise from our failures and win back our losses if we are only shrewd enough to realize that good health, sound mind, and a cheerful spirit are necessary adjuncts.

As Tennyson says: "I held it truth, with him who sings To one clear harp in divers tones, That men may rise on stepping-stones Of their dead selves to higher things." All truly great men have been healthy--otherwise they would have fallen short of the mark.

Prisons are filled with nervous, diseased creatures.
There is no doubt but that most of these who, through ignorance, sifted through to the bottomless pits could have saved themselves had they realized the truth and "taken stock" of themselves, _in time_--of course, allowing for those, who are victims of circumstantial evidence.
The prime necessity of life is health.

With this, for mankind, nothing is impossible.

But if we do not make use of this good health it will waste itself away and never come back.
