It Is The Close Observation

Courage Is By No Means Incompatible With Tenderness. On The Contrary, Gentleness And Tenderness Have Been Found To Characterize The Men, No Less Than The Women, Who Have Done The Most Courageous Deeds.

Great Men Are Always Exceptional Men; And Greatness Itself Is But Comparative. Indeed, The Range Of Most Men In Life Is So Limited That Very Few Have The Opportunity Of Being Great.

The Healthy Spirit Of Self-help Created Among Working People Would, More Than Any Other Measure, Serve To Raise Them As A Class; And This, Not By Pulling Down Others, But By Levelling Them Up To A Higher And Still Advancing Standard Of Religion, Intelligence, And Virtue.

It Is Not Ease, But Effort-not Facility, But Difficulty, Makes Men. There Is, Perhaps, No Station In Life In Which Difficulties Have Not To Be Encountered And Overcome Before Any Decided Measure Of Success Can Be Achieved.

Diligence, Above All, Is The Mother Of Good Luck.
