Good health! Whenever you go out of doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of your head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost drink in sunshine greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and never waste a minute thinking about your enemies.
