Take time to think…
it is the source of power
Take time to play…
it is the secret of perpetual youth
Take time to read…
it is the fountain of wisdom
Take time to pray…
it is the greatest power on earth
Take time to laugh…
it is the music of the soul
Take time to give…
it is too short a day to be selfish
