Let Thy Fortune Be What It Will,

If You Like Not My Writing, Go Read Something Else.

The Men Who Succeed Are The Efficient Few. They Are The Few Who Have The Ambition And Will Power To Develop Themselves.

They [i.e. Ambitious Men] May Not Cease, But As A Dog In A Wheel, A Bird In A Cage, Or A Squirrel In A Chain, So Budaeus Compares Them; They Climb And Climb Still, With Much Labour, But Never Make An End, Never At The Top.

Worldly Wealth Is The Devil's Bait; And Those Whose Minds Feed Upon Riches Recede, In General, From Real Happiness, In Proportion As Their Stores Increase, As The Moon, When She Is Fullest, Is Farthest From The Sun.

A Dwarf Standing On The Shoulders Of A Giant May See Farther Than A Giant Himself.
