Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Straight to the Point
When fate doth press her bitter cup, And you are down from strife and pain, And someone stoops to help you up, That you may your former place regain, He is a friend!
The man in whom you can confide, Has judgment good to give advice, Whose interests seem with yours allied, No matter what the sacrifice, He is a friend!
All men are not born equal, but all men should have an equal chance.
Behind the smile on many a face, A look of sorrow we plainly trace.
There's nothing equal to peace of mind; Among all the treasures that we hold, The mental sunshine in it confined Is worth far more to us than gold. For if the heart is rent and torn On every side by care and strife, Gold seems a mockery, a thing forlorn; A peaceful mind is the wealth of life.
