If Character Be Irrecoverably Lost, Then Indeed

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.

Diligence, Above All, Is The Mother Of Good Luck.

Life Is Of Little Value Unless It Be Consecrated By Duty.

For Want Of Self-restraint Many Men Are Engaged All Their Lives In Fighting With Difficulties Of Their Own Making, And Rendering Success Impossible By Their Own Cross-grained Ungentleness; Whilst Others, It May Be Much Less Gifted, Make Their Way And Achieve Success By Simple Patience, Equanimity, And Self-control.

Self-control Is Only Courage Under Another Form. It May Also Be Regarded As The Primary Essence Of Character.
