21 If I were writing about the rich, I should be inclined to divide them, according to their attitude toward life, into workers and parasites. The motto of the worker is, "I owe the world a life," and the motto of the.................. is, "The.................. owes me a living."
22 Caution, when not present in excess, is a desirable trait. Often it saves one from disappointment or failure. Occasionally, however, one finds a person so extremely.................. that his will is paralyzed and he is totally unable to set about any new undertaking. Too much.................. is indeed often.................. than too little.
23 A whale is not a fish, even though it does live in water.

25 To pant for recognition, to yearn to impress one's personality upon one's fellow-men, is the essence of ambition.

To reap a success which no one .................. does not satisfy the yearnings of the .................. individual.
26 Washington was a very silent man. Of no man in the world's history do we have so few sayings of a personal kind. As for talking about himself, that was something in which he almost never indulged. Yet it would be a great error to interpret his.................. as an indication that he was in any sense cold or unfeeling.
27 As a rule, it is more economical to remember things by associating them clearly and vigorously than by going through many repetitions of them.

29 "Naive" and "unsophisticated" are frequently confused. The former suggests a type of behavior which is artless, spontaneous, and free from the restraints of custom. The latter implies fully as great lack of knowledge of social usage, and, in addition, conduct which is primitive and perchance inelegant. Thus, the.................. youth was the first to enter the car, and his.................. little sister warmly kissed him in the presence of the king.
