“Work”

If you are poor – work.

If you are rich – continue to work.

If you are burdened with seemingly unfair responsibilities – work.

If you are happy – keep right on working.
Idleness gives room for doubts and fears.

If disappointments come – work.

If sorrow overwhelms you and loved ones seem not true – work.

If health is threatened – work.

When faith falters and reason fails – just work.

When dreams are shattered and hope seems dead – work.
Work as if your life were in peril. It really is.

Whatever happens or matters – work.

Work faithfully – work with faith.

Work is the greatest material remedy available.

Work will cure both mental and physical afflictions.
