Enthusiasm..the Sustaining Power Of All Great Action

Good Character Is Property. It Is The Noblest Of All Possessions.

Persons With Comparatively Moderate Powers Will Accomplish Much, If They Apply Themselves Wholly And Indefatigably To One Thing At A Time.

Success Treads On The Heels Of Every Right Effort; And Though It Is Possible To Overestimate Success To The Extent Of Almost Deifying It, As Is Sometimes Done, Still In Any Worthy Pursuit It Is Meritorious.

Labour May Be A Burden And A Chastisement, But It Is Also An Honour And A Glory. Without It, Nothing Can Be Accomplished.

The Romans Rightly Employed The Same Word (virtus) To Designate Courage, Which Is, In A Physical Sense, What The Other Is In A Moral; The Highest Virtue Of All Being Victory Over Ourselves.
