Progress, Of The Best Kind, Is Comparatively

Enthusiasm..the Sustaining Power Of All Great Action

Luck Lies In Bed, And Wishes The Postman Would Bring Him News Of A Legacy; Labor Turns Out At Six, And With Busy Pen Or Ringing Hammer Lays The Foundation Of A Competence.

No Laws, However Stringent, Can Make The Idle Industrious, The Thriftless Provident, Or The Drunken Sober. Such Reforms Can Only Be Effected By Means Of Individual Action, Economy And Self-denial; By Better Habits, Rather Than By Greater Rights.

Courage Is By No Means Incompatible With Tenderness. On The Contrary, Gentleness And Tenderness Have Been Found To Characterize The Men, No Less Than The Women, Who Have Done The Most Courageous Deeds.

No Good Thing Is Ever Lost. Nothing Dies, Not Even Life Which Gives Up One Form Only To Resume Another. No Good Action, No Good Example Dies. It Lives Forever In Our Race. While The Frame Moulders And Disappears, The Deed Leaves An Indelible Stamp, And Molds The Very Thought And Will Of Future Generations.
