Could the young but realize how soon they will become mere walking bundles of habits, they would give more heed to their conduct while in the plastic state.

In the dim background of mind we know what we ought to be doing but somehow we cannot start.
How to gain, how to keep, how to recover happiness is in fact for most men at all times the secret motive of all they do, and of all they are willing to endure.
Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
