Industry, Perseverance, And Frugality Make Fortune Yield.

So Much For Industry, My Friends, And Attention To One's Own Business; But To These We Must Add Frugality If We Would Make Our Industry More Certainly Successful. A Man May, If He Knows Not How To Save As He Gets, Keep His Nose All His Life To The Grindstone, And Die Not Worth A Grout At Last.
