The Economy of Life

The way to grow old is to be economical of life. If it be carelessly squandered in any way it cannot last so long as it otherwise might. Over-work kills a few; over-worry kills more, because it is more depressing and exhausting. The indulgence of the appetites and passions is still more fatal. Men who eat more than they need, drink more than is good for them, and indulge in other kinds of riotous living, spend life as they spend money.
