- Almost
all men are over-anxious.
No sooner do they enter the world than they lose that taste for natural
and simple pleasures so remarkable in early life. Every hour do they

honor;
and on they go as their fathers went before them, till, weary and sick
at heart, they look back with a sigh of regret to the golden time of
their
childhood.—Rogers.

the day. It is when tomorrow's
burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a
man can bear. —George MacDonald
