The Very Greatest Things - Great Thoughts,

Luck Whines; Labor Whistles.

Life Is Of Little Value Unless It Be Consecrated By Duty.

The Spirit Of Self-help Is The Root Of All Genuine Growth In The Individual.

No Laws, However Stringent, Can Make The Idle Industrious, The Thriftless Provident, Or The Drunken Sober. Such Reforms Can Only Be Effected By Means Of Individual Action, Economy And Self-denial; By Better Habits, Rather Than By Greater Rights.

Nothing Of Real Worth Can Be Obtained Without Courageous Working. Man Owes His Growth Chiefly To The Active Striving Of The Will, That Encounter With Difficulty Which He Calls Effort; And It Is Astonishing To Find How Often Results Apparently Impracticable Are Then Made Possible.
