Lost Wealth May Be Replaced By Industry,

Conscience Is That Peculiar Faculty Of The Soul Which May Be Called The Religious Instinct.

Even Happiness Itself May Become Habitual. There Is A Habit Of Looking At The Bright Side Of Things, And Also Of Looking At The Dark Side. Dr. Johnson Has Said That The Habit Of Looking At The Best Side Of A Thing Is Worth More To A Man Than A Thousand Pounds A Year. And We Possess The Power, To A Great Extent, Of So Exercising The Will As To Direct The Thoughts Upon Objects Calculated To Yield Happiness And Improvement Rather Than Their Opposites.

Thus The Brave And Aspiring Life Of One Man Lights A Flame In The Minds Of Others Of Like Faculties And Impulse; And Where There Is Equally Vigorous Effort, Like Distinction And Success Will Almost Surely Follow. Thus The Chain Of Example Is Carried Down Through Time In An Endless Succession Of Links--admiration Exciting Imitation, And Perpetuating The True Aristocracy Of Genius.

Character Is Undergoing Constant Change, For Better Or For Worse--either Being Elevated On The One Hand, Or Degraded On The Other.

Self-respect Is The Noblest Garment With Which A Man Can Clothe Himself, The Most Elevating Feeling With Which The Mind Can Be Inspired.
