The Truest Politeness Comes Of Sincerity.

It Is A Grand Old Name, That Of Gentleman, And Has Been Recognized As A Rank And Power In All Stages Of Society. To Possess This Character Is A Dignity Of Itself, Commanding The Instinctive Homage Of Every Generous Mind, And Those Who Will Not Bow To Titular Rank Will Yet Do Homage To The Gentleman. His Qualities Depend Not Upon Fashion Or Manners, But Upon Moral Worth; Not On Personal Possessions, But On Personal Qualities.

He Who Labours Not, Cannot Enjoy The Reward Of Labour.

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.

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

Lost Wealth May Be Replaced By Industry, Lost Knowledge By Study, Lost Health By Temperance Or Medicine, But Lost Time Is Gone Forever.
