Make Good Thy Standing Place,

Practical Wisdom Is Only To Be Learned In The School Of Experience. Precepts And Instruction Are Useful So Far As They Go, But, Without The Discipline Of Real Life, They Remain Of The Nature Of Theory Only.

The Career Of A Great Man Remains An Enduring Monument Of Human Energy. The Man Dies And Disappears, But His Thoughts And Acts Survive And Leave An Indelible Stamp Upon His Race.

It Is Natural To Admire And Revere Really Great Men. They Hallow The Nation To Which They Belong, And Lift Up Not Only All Who Live In Their Time, But Those Who Live After Them. Their Great Example Becomes The Common Heritage Of Their Race; And Their Great Deeds And Great Thoughts Are The Most Glorious Legacies Of Mankind.

Purposes, Like Eggs, Unless They Be Hatched Into Action, Will Run Into Rottenness.

Honorable Industry Always Travels The Same Road With Enjoyment And Duty, And Progress Is Altogether Impossible Without It.
