The student who secures his coveted leisure and retirement by systematically shirking any labor necessary to man obtains but an ignoble and unprofitable leisure, defrauding himself of the experience which alone can make leisure fruitful. "But you do not mean student should go work with hands instead of heads" I do not mean that exactly,.. they should not play life, or study it merely, but earnestly live it

I. Economy - less is more. "There is a certain class of unbelievers who sometimes ask me such questions as, if I think that I can live on vegetable food alone; to strike at the root of matter at once -- for the root is faith -- I am accustomed to answer such, that I can live on board nails. If they cannot understand that, they cannot understand much that I have to say."

"There is some of the same fitness in a man building his own house that there is a bird building its own nest. Who knows but if men constructed their dwellings with their own hands, and provided food for themselves and families simply and honestly enough, the poetic faculty would be universally developed, as birds universally sing when they are so engaged?"
