The Reason Why So Little Is Done,

Men Cannot Be Raised In Masses As The Mountains Were In He Early Geological States Of The World. They Must Be Dealt With As Units; For It Is Only By The Elevation Of Individuals That The Elevation Of The Masses Can Be Effectively Secured.

Men Must Necessarily Be The Active Agents Of Their Own Well-being And Well-doing They Themselves Must In The Very Nature Of Things Be Their Own Best Helpers.

The Possession Of A Library, Or The Free Use Of It, No More Constitutes Learning, Than The Possession Of Wealth Constitutes Generosity.

Good Character Is Property. It Is The Noblest Of All Possessions.

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.
