Knowledge Conquered By Labor Becomes A Possession

Necessity Is Always The First Stimulus To Industry, And Those Who Conduct It With Prudence, Perseverance And Energy Will Rarely Fail. Viewed In This Light, The Necessity Of Labor Is Not A Chastisement, But A Blessing,--the Very Root And Spring Of All That We Call Progress In Individuals And Civilization In Nations.

This Extraordinary Metal, The Soul Of Every Manufacture, And The Mainspring Perhaps Of Civilised Society. Of Iron.

Progress However, Of The Best Kind, Is Comparatively Slow. Great Results Cannot Be Achieved At Once; And We Must Be Satisfied To Advance In Life As We Walk, Step By Step.

Childhood Is Like A Mirror, Which Reflects In Afterlife The Images First Presented To It. The First Thing Continues Forever With The Child. The First Joy, The First Sorrow, The First Success, The First Failure, The First Achievement, The First Misadventure, Paint The Foreground Of His Life.

It Is Natural To Admire And Revere Really Great Men. They Hallow The Nation To Which They Belong, And Lift Up Not Only All Who Live In Their Time, But Those Who Live After Them. Their Great Example Becomes The Common Heritage Of Their Race; And Their Great Deeds And Great Thoughts Are The Most Glorious Legacies Of Mankind.
