TAKING TIME
I don't know whose brain-child
this is, but I’m sure we’d all be hap
pier if we adopted it as our code to
live by:
Take time to live. That is what time
is for. Killing time is suicide.
Take time to work. It is the price of
success.
Take time to think. It is the source
of power.
Take time to play. It is the fountain
of wisdom.
Take time to be friendly. It is the
road to happiness.
Take time to dream. It is hitching
your wagon to a star.
Take time to look around. It’s too
short a day to be selfish.
Take time to laugh. It is the music
of the soul.
Take time to play with children. It is
the joy of joys.
Take time to be courteous. It is the
mark of a gentleman.

the rainbow.
