The Principal Object Of Your Reading Should

Let Your Desire For Truth Transcend All Minor Considerations. Ignorance Is Invariably Confident. The Man Of Knowledge Learns To Realize His Own Needs. Be Honest And Severe In Your Self-appraisal. Learn The Art Of Learning, And You Are Well On The Way To Achievement. True Greatness Is Reflective, Not Assertive.

Do Not Let Trifles Disturb Your Tranquility Of Mind. The Little Pin-pricks Of Daily Life When Dwelt Upon And Magnified, May Do Great Damage, But If Ignored Or Dismissed From Thought, Will Disappear From Inanition.

There Are Many Fine Things Which You Mean To Do Some Day, Under What You Think Will Be More Favorable Circumstances. But The Only Time That Is Yours Is The Present.

When You Want A Thing Deeply, Earnestly And Intensely, This Feeling Of Desire Reinforces Your Will And Arouses In You The Determination To Work For The Desired Object. When You Have A Distinct Purpose In View, Your Work Becomes Of Absorbing Interest. You Bend Your Best Powers To It; You Give It Concentrated Attention; You Think Of Little Else Than The Realization Of This Purpose; Your Will Is Stimulated Into Unusual Activity, And As A Consequence You Do Your Work With An Increasing Sense Of Power.

There Is Honor In Labor. Work Is The Medicine Of The Soul. It Is More: It Is Your Very Life, Without Which You Would Amount To Little.
