[00:12.80]But all sunshine without shade, [00:15.86]all pleasure without pain, is not life at all. [00:19.58]Take the lot of the happiest — it is a tangled yarn. [00:24.34]Bereavements and blessings, one following another, [00:28.05]make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself [00:32.76]makes life more loving. Men come closest to [00:36.81]their true selves in the sober moments of life, [00:40.09]under the shadows of sorry and loss. [00:43.26]In the affairs of life or of business, [00:47.10]it is not intellect that tells so much as character, [00:50.05]not brains so much as heart, not genius so much [00:53.88]as self-control, patience, and discipline, [00:56.94]regulated by judgment.I have always believed that [01:01.75]the man who has begun to live more seriously [01:04.60]within begins to live more simply without. [01:08.32]In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish [01:12.03]I could show to the world how few [01:14.11]the real wants of humanity are.To regret [01:18.04]one’s errors to the point of not repeating them [01:20.45]is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being [01:23.84]superior to some other man. The true nobility is [01:27.78]in being superior to your previous self.
