The perspective centers on living with integrity, cultivating inner strength, and keeping faith with what truly matters.

Excerpt from How to Face Life
Into the mind of youth must penetrate the ideal of self-preparedness, not of external preparation for the outward life, but of inmost preparedness for the inner life. Whether or not the prefl paredness programme be, as some hold, more menacing to the soul of America than foreign foe can ever become be cause it marks an immediate invasion of the American soul rather than a possi ble aggression upon American soil, it is certain that life cannot wortt be lived save after preparedness in the fullest sense of the term.

Excerpt from How to Face Life
Youth: Preparing For Life
"How beautiful is youth! How bright it gleams.
With its illusions, aspirations, dreams!
Book of Beginnings, Story without End,
Each maid a heroine, and each man a friend!
Aladdin's Lamp, and Fortunatus' Purse!
That holds the treasures of the universe!
All possibilities are in its hands,
No danger daunts it and no foe withstands;
In its sublime audacity of faith,
'Be thou removed,' it to the mountain saith,
And with ambitious feet, secure and proud,
Ascends the ladder leaning on the cloud."
- Longfellow: Morituri Salutamus.
