Walter Camp Says:

Drink without eating and eat without drinking.

Warm feet and a cool head need no physician. A bath, cold if you please, hot if you must, with a good rub, starts the day right.

If you will save your smoke till after luncheon, you'll never have smoker's heart.

Dress cool when you walk and warm when you ride.

Don't sit still with wet feet. Walk until you have a chance to change.

Envy, jealousy, and wrath will ruin any digestion.

Sleep woos the physically tired man; she flouts the mentally exhausted.

The best record in golf is the record she has made of restored health to the middle-aged.

The best way to use the Sunday supplement is to stick it under your vest while you walk an hour against the wind and then come home and read it.

Nature won't stand for overdrafts any more than your bank.

You never saw a dog fill his mouth with food and then take a drink to wash it down.

Beyond the Profit of Today

LORD

ORD, give me vision that shall see
Beyond the profit of today

Into the years which are to be,
That I may take the larger way
Of labor and achievement; so

Help me fashion, staunch and sure
A work my fellow men shall know
As wrought to serve and to endure.

I seek for fortune, Lord, nor claim
To scorn the recompense I earn;
But help me, as I play the game,
To give the world its just return.
Thou mad'st the earth for all of us,

Teach me, through struggle, strain and stress
To win and do my share, for thus
Can profit lead to happiness.

Guard me from thoughts of little men
Which blind the soul to greater things;
Save me from smug content and then
From greed and selfishness it brings;
Aid me to join that splendid clan

Of Business Men who seek to trace
A calm, considered working-plan

To make the world a better place.

Lord, let the faith of these be mine,
A creed creative, simple, true,
Let me but aid in their design,

Let me but share the work they do;
Teach me to hold this task above
All lesser thoughts within my ken,
That thus I may be worthy of
The name of Business Man; Amen!

-BERTON BRALEY
