What One Does Easily, One Does Well.

A Library Outranks Any Other One Thing A Community Can Do To Benefit Its People. It Is A Never Failing Spring In The Desert.

It Was From My Own Early Experience That I Decided There Was No Use To Which Money Could Be Applied So Productive Of Good To Girls And Boys Who Have Good Within Them And Ability And Ambition To Develop It As The Founding Of A Public Library.

Mutual Ignorance Breeds Mutual Distrust.

I Have Never Known A Concern To Make A Decided Success That Did Not Do Good, Honest Work, And Even In These Days Of Fiercest Competition, When Everything Would Seem To Be A Matter Of Price, There Lies Still At The Root Of Great Business Success The Very Much More Important Factor Of Quality. The Effect Of Attention To Quality, Upon Every Man In The Service, From The President Of The Concern Down To The Humblest Laborer, Cannot Be Overestimated.

My Hopes Were High, And I Looked Every Day For Some Change To Take Place. What It Was To Be I Knew Not, But That It Would Come I Felt Certain If I Kept On. One Day The Chance Came.
