Luck Whines; Labor Whistles.

No Good Thing Is Ever Lost. Nothing Dies, Not Even Life Which Gives Up One Form Only To Resume Another. No Good Action, No Good Example Dies. It Lives Forever In Our Race. While The Frame Moulders And Disappears, The Deed Leaves An Indelible Stamp, And Molds The Very Thought And Will Of Future Generations.

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

The Great And Good Do No Die Even In This World. Embalmed In Books, Their Spirits Walk Abroad. The Book Is A Living Voice. It Is An Intellect To Which One Still Listens.

Wisdom And Understanding Can Only Become The Possession Of Individual Men By Travelling The Old Road Of Observation, Attention, Perseverance, And Industry.

Biographies Of Great, But Especially Of Good Men Are Most Instructive And Useful As Helps, Guides, And Incentives To Others. Some Of The Best Are Almost Equivalent To Gospels,--teaching High Living ,high Thinking, And Energetic Action, For Their Own And, The World's Good.
