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 secret of perpetual youth. Take time to read - 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 live and be loved - it is the privilege of God. Take time to look around - the day is too short to be selfish. Take time to laugh - it is the music of the soul. 'Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live.' - John 11:25.
