Examine how you are
passing your time . Review and regulate your thoughts ; and clear your minds of any animosities or discomposures which may Save arisen during the week . Let the remainder of the day be passed in the perusal of esteemed authors , or in the society of wise and good associates . You will then not only not lose a day , but will actually gain time by the refreshment of your minds ; and by the acquisition of that serenity , the want of which is most unfavourable to mental exertion , and which is never enjoyed except when we are quite at peace with ourselves .
