Honesty Is The Cornerstone Of Character.

It Can Be Set Down As A Broad, General Principle That We Cannot Indulge In Idleness And Abundance During Both The First And Second Half Of Our Life. Study, Application, Industry, Enthusiasm While We Are Young Usually Enable Us To Enjoy Life When We Grow Older. But Unless We Toil And Strive And Earn All We Can In The First Half, The Second Half Of Our Life Is Liable To Bring Disappointment, Discomfort, Distress. The Time To Put Forth Effort Is When We Are Most Able To Do It, Namely, In The Years Of Our Greatest Strength. The Law Of Compensation Hasn't Ceased To Function.

The Man Who Has Done His Level Best... Is A Success, Even Though The World May Write Him Down A Failure.

The Fittest, Not The Richest, Make The Most Enviable Mark. Pampered Sons Of Plutocrats May Shine For A Time In Society, But Not In The World Of Affairs And Of Service Unless They Rip Off Their Coats And Get To Work Early And Stay Late. To Be Born With A Golden Spoon In The Mouth Is More Of A Handicap Than A Help In Attaining Worthwhile Success In This Age.

That Which Is Useless Dies. Animals That Fail To Serve Some Useful Purpose In The Scheme Of Things Slowly But Surely Become Extinct. Let Any Part Of The Human Body Cease To Perform Its Ordained Function, And It Withers-as When An Arm Is Kept Long In A Sling. This Same Decree, That Nothing Useless Is Permitted To Survive, Runs Through The Mind Of The Industrial World.

Difficulties Should Act As A Tonic. They Should Spur Us To Greater Exertion.
