Renewing Our Strength

WHEN an acre of ground has produced long and well, we let it lie fallow for a season; when a razor has seen long service and refuses to hold an edge, the barber lays it away for a few weeks, and the edge comes back of its own accord. We bestow thoughtful care upon inanimate objects, but none upon ourselves. What a robust people, what a nation of thinkers we might be if we would only lay ourselves upon the shelf occasionally and renew our edge!—Selected.
