Keep in the Right Place.

The world is made up of differently shaped persons—as, for instance, round men and square men, and half the trouble in life is caused by the round men getting into the square holes. People should not be everlastingly mixing things—the sand and the sugar, the flies and the milk, etc. Better to succeed as a blacksmith, than to fail as a poet; to measure ribbon well, than to bungle in trying to be a statesman.— Good Health.
