Riches Do Not Constitute Any

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

Thus The Brave And Aspiring Life Of One Man Lights A Flame In The Minds Of Others Of Like Faculties And Impulse; And Where There Is Equally Vigorous Effort, Like Distinction And Success Will Almost Surely Follow. Thus The Chain Of Example Is Carried Down Through Time In An Endless Succession Of Links--admiration Exciting Imitation, And Perpetuating The True Aristocracy Of Genius.

There Is No Act, However Trivial, But Has Its Train Of Consequences.

There Are Many Persons Of Whom It May Be Said That They Have No Other Possession In The World But Their Character, And Yet They Stand As Firmly Upon It As Any Crowned King.

National Progress Is The Sum Of Individual Industry, Energy, And Uprightness, As National Decay Is Of Individual Idleness, Selfishness, And Vice.
