QUOTATIONS. A man, to succeed, must possess the necessary equanimity of temperament to conceive an idea, the capacity to form it into some tangible shape, the ingenuity to put it into practical operation, the ability to favorably impress others with its merits, and the POWER of WILL that is absolutely necessary to force it to success.
THOMAS A. SCOTT.
Labor rids us of three evils.Tediousness, Vice, and Poverty.
CARLYLE.
"Never start upon an undertaking until you are sure it is practicable and ought to be done and then let nothing stand long in the way of accomplishing that undertaking. It is better to deserve success than to have it; few deserve it who do not attain it."
"There is no failure in this country for those whose personal habits are good, and who follow some honest calling industriously, unselfishly, and purely. If one desires to succeed, he must pay the priceWORK!"
In order to succeed, a man must have a purpose fixed, then let his motto be VICTORY OR DEATH.
HENRY CLAY.
"Be liberal but cautious; enterprising but careful."
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
Fail!Fail?
In the lexicon of youth, which Fate reserves for a bright manhood, there is no such word
Asfail!
"RICHELIEU."
Benjamin Franklin has truly said: The road to wealth is as plain as the road to the mill.
