The use of various examples like 'worth your salt', 'wisely used leisure', etc. helps in clarifying his central idea behind this speech i.e. to show the benefits of a strenuous life not only on an individual but on the entire nation as it is the one 'we most need in this country, out of which reflects most honor upon the nation'.
