- Men

- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.
- Neighbors

- Men
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The work of many of the greatest men, inspired by duty, has been done amidst suffering and trial and difficulty. They have struggled against the tide, and reached the shore exhausted.

Men who are resolved to find a way for themselves will always find opportunities enough; and if they do not find them, they will make them.
- Comparatively
- |

Progress however, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.
- Men
- |

Wisdom and understanding can only become the possession of individual men by travelling the old road of observation, attention, perseverance, and industry.
- Mistake
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
