If We Opened Our Minds To Enjoyment,

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.

Riches Do Not Constitute Any Claim To Distinction. It Is Only The Vulgar Who Admire Riches As Riches.

It Will Generally Be Found That Men Who Are Constantly Lamenting Their Ill Luck Are Only Reaping The Consequences Of Their Own Neglect, Mismanagement, And Improvidence, Or Want Of Application.

The Great High-road Of Human Welfare Lies Along The Old Highway Of Steadfast, Well-doing; And They Who Are The Most Persistent, And Work In The Truest Spirit, Will Invariably Be The Most Successful; Success Treads On The Heels Of Every Right Effort.

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