The Shortest Way To Do Many Things

Genius, Without Work, Is Certainly A Dumb Oracle, And It Is Unquestionably True That The Men Of The Highest Genius Have Invariably Been Found To Be Amongst The Most Plodding, Hard-working, And Intent Men -- Their Chief Characteristic Apparently Consisting Simply In Their Power Of Laboring More Intensely And Effectively Than Others.

Good Character Is Property. It Is The Noblest Of All Possessions.

Mere Political Reform Will Not Cure The Manifold Evils Which Now Afflict Society. There Requires A Social Reform, A Domestic Reform, An Individual Reform.

It Is Natural To Admire And Revere Really Great Men. They Hallow The Nation To Which They Belong, And Lift Up Not Only All Who Live In Their Time, But Those Who Live After Them. Their Great Example Becomes The Common Heritage Of Their Race; And Their Great Deeds And Great Thoughts Are The Most Glorious Legacies Of Mankind.

To Set A Lofty Example Is The Richest Bequest A Man Can Leave Behind.
