Childhood Is Like A Mirror, Which Reflects

The Great Leader Attracts To Himself Men Of Kindred Character, Drawing Them Towards Him As The Loadstone Draws Iron.

Nothing Is More Common Than Energy In Money-making, Quite Independent Of Any Higher Object Than Its Accumulation. A Man Who Devotes Himself To This Pursuit, Body And Soul, Can Scarcely Fail To Become Rich. Very Little Brains Will Do; Spend Less Than You Earn; Add Guinea To Guinea; Scrape And Save; And The Pile Of Gold Will Gradually Rise.

Though An Inheritance Of Acres May Be Bequeathed, An Inheritance Of Knowledge And Wisdom Cannot. The Wealthy Man May Pay Others For Doing His Work For Him; But It Is Impossible To Get His Thinking Done For Him By Another, Or To Purchase Any Kind Of Self-culture.

Character Is Undergoing Constant Change, For Better Or For Worse--either Being Elevated On The One Hand, Or Degraded On The Other.

The Knowledge And Experience Which Produce Wisdom Can Only Become A Man's Individual Possession And Property By His Own Free Action; And It Is As Futile To Expect These Without Laborious, Painstaking Effort, As It Is To Hope To Gather A Harvest Where The Seed Has Not Been Sown.
