#1 The art of living is the outcome of the use or abuse of the imagination. To use the imagination constructively, we must build a room where we can do nothing but relax. As Americans, we have a tendency to indulge in all sorts of pastimes, and one of them is building a room by ourselves.

#2 I went to dinner with my nephew and his wife. The children, eight and seven, and the twins, two years of age, heard my voice and came down. They urged me to repeat a lesson in how to whistle, complaining that they were not yet masters of the art.

#3 The room next door is an imaginary room, built with our imagination. We can replenish our youthful vigor by simply walking through a door and into this room. We can relax for just five minutes every day, which will bring happiness.
