    All too often,

    when we battle for the right,

    it turns out that both

    the victor and the vanquished

    have sustained defeat

    of intellectual thought

    communion for the spirit

    The two major problems

    of life are:

    making a temporal living

    and

    the achievement of eternal survival

    And

    even the problem of making a living

    requires religion for its ideal solution

    Be not deceived by

    the tempting rewards of

    dishonest achievement:

    be willing to toil for the

    later returns inherent in

    honest endeavor

    to hold in sacred trust

    worth-while episodes of life,

    which you can recall at will

    for your pleasure and edification

    There is an art in defeat

    which noble souls always acquire;

    you must know how to lose cheerfully;

    you must be fearless of disappointment

    Never hesitate to admit failure

    Make no attempt to hide failure

    under deceptive smiles

    and beaming optimism

    Success may generate courage

    and promote confidence, but

    wisdom comes only from the

    experiences of adjustment to

    the results of one’s failures

    Men who prefer optimistic illusions

    to reality can never become wise

    Only those who face facts and 

    adjust them to ideals

    can achieve wisdom

    Failure is simply 

    an educational episode—

    a cultural experiment in

    the acquirement of wisdom…

    The career of a God-seeking man

    may prove to be a great success

    in the light of eternity, even though

    the whole temporal-life enterprise

    may appear as an overwhelming failure,

    provided each life failure yielded the

    culture of wisdom and spirit achievement
