Our Trials, Our Sorrows, And Our Grieves

We Do Not Know What We Can Bear Until We Are Put To The Test. Many A Delicate Mother, Who Thought That She Could Not Survive The Death Of Her Children, Has Lived To Bury Her Husband And The Last One Of A Large Family, And In Addition To All This Has Seen Her Home And Last Dollar Swept Away; Yet She Has Had The Courage To Bear It All And To Go On As Before. When The Need Comes, There Is A Power Deep Within Us That Answers The Call.

The Sculptor Will Chip Off All Unnecessary Material To Set Free The Angel. Nature Will Chip And Pound Us Remorselessly To Bring Out Our Possibilities. She Will Strip Us Of Wealth, Humble Our Pride, Humiliate Our Ambition, Let Us Down From The Ladder Of Fame, Will Discipline Us In A Thousand Ways, If She Can Develop A Little Character. Everything Must Give Way To That. Wealth Is Nothing, Position Is Nothing, Fame Is Nothing, Manhood Is Everything.

The Greatest Trouble With Most Of Us Is That Our Demands Upon Ourselves Are So Feeble, The Call Upon The Great Within Of Us So Weak And Intermittent That It Makes No Impression Upon The Creative Energies; It Lacks The Force That Transmutes Desires Into Realities.

Analyzing What You Haven't Got As Well As What You Have Is A Necessary Ingredient Of A Career.

If You Want To Enlarge Your Life, You Must First Enlarge Your Thought Of It And Of Yourself.
