Make Good Thy Standing Place,

It Is A Mistake To Suppose That Men Succeed Through Success; They Much Oftener Succeed Through Failures. Precept, Study, Advice, And Example Could Never Have Taught Them So Well As Failure Has Done.

The Great High-road Of Human Welfare Lies Along The Old Highway Of Steadfast, Well-doing; And They Who Are The Most Persistent, And Work In The Truest Spirit, Will Invariably Be The Most Successful; Success Treads On The Heels Of Every Right Effort.

If We Opened Our Minds To Enjoyment, We Might Find Tranquil Pleasures Spread About Us On Every Side. We Might Live With The Angels That Visit Us On Every Sunbeam, And Sit With The Fairies Who Wait On Every Flower.

The Government Of A Nation Itself Is Usually Found To Be But The Reflux Of The Individuals Composing It. The Government That Is Ahead Of The People Will Be Inevitably Dragged Down To Their Level, As The Government That Is Behind Them Will In The Long Run Be Dragged Up.

Luck Whines; Labor Whistles.
