    Old Proverbs. 4-4-'38
    (1) Men who succeed have always been cheerful and hopeful.
    (2) Never leave that till tomorrow, which you can do to-day.
    (3) We make ourselves our own distress, we are ourselves our happiness.
    (4) Gentle words fall lightly but they have great weight.
    (5) The help of God is nearer than the door.
