The Life Of A Good Man Is

The Reason Why So Little Is Done, Is Generally Because So Little Is Attempted.

The Crown And Glory Of Life Is Character. It Is The Noblest Possession Of A Man, Constituting A Rank In Itself, And An Estate In The General Good-will; Dignifying Every Station, And Exalting Every Position In Society. It Exercises A Greater Power Than Wealth, And Secures All The Honor Without The Jealousies Of Fame. It Carries With It An Influence Which Always Tell; For It Is The Result Of Proved Honor, Rectitude, And Consistency-qualities Which, Perhaps More Than Any Other, Command The General Confidence And Respect Of Mankind.

Help From Without Is Often Enfeebling In Its Effects, But Help From Within Invariably Invigorates.

The Shortest Way To Do Many Things Is To Do Only One Thing At Once.

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.
