Man Cannot Aspire If He Looked Down;

The Crown And Glory Of Life Is Character. It Is The Noblest Possession Of A Man, Constituting A Rank In Itself, And An Estate In The General Good-will; Dignifying Every Station, And Exalting Every Position In Society. It Exercises A Greater Power Than Wealth, And Secures All The Honor Without The Jealousies Of Fame. It Carries With It An Influence Which Always Tell; For It Is The Result Of Proved Honor, Rectitude, And Consistency-qualities Which, Perhaps More Than Any Other, Command The General Confidence And Respect Of Mankind.

All That Is Great In Man Comes Through Work; And Civilization Is Its Product.

True Politeness Is Consideration For The Opinions Of Others. It Has Been Said Of Dogmatism That It Is Only Puppyism Come To Its Full Growth; And Certainly The Worst Form This Quality Can Assume Is That Of Opinionativeness And Arrogance.

Politeness Goes Far, Yet Costs Nothing.

Nothing Of Real Worth Can Be Obtained Without Courageous Working. Man Owes His Growth Chiefly To The Active Striving Of The Will, That Encounter With Difficulty Which He Calls Effort; And It Is Astonishing To Find How Often Results Apparently Impracticable Are Then Made Possible.
