"This compilation of prose, poetry, and terse sayings is done for the pleasure of the reader.
For a framework in which to list the items recorded here the idea of a day-or a man's lifetime- is used.
Dawn is that early, first brush with life when all the world belongs "to me" and every new discovery is a thrill. Morning is a youth time when action, dreams, and adventures are putting into shape character. Noontime is the heat of struggle with life in vocation, in society, and in all areas of living. It is when the controls are in hand and decisions are hard and fast. It is the "go" time. Evening is a time of arrival, of being, of authority. Evening gathers up what Dawn saw, Morning investigated, Noon accomplished, and in the reaping is storing up or sharing the returns. Nighttime is the threshold of rest.
It is the desire of the compiler that in whatever hour the reader is, or wherever he reads in this volume, he will find a lift, a smile, a sense of sharing with others who have lived a day."
