the noblest, acts the best. -Bailey

us with both a purpose and expanding possibilities for our lives. -Fred
P. Corson

were the last hour of my life.

How small a portion of our
life it is that we really enjoy! In youth we are looking forward to
things that are to come; in old age we are looking backward to things
that are gone past; in manhood, although we appear indeed to be more
occupied in things that are present, yet even that is too often
absorbed in vague determinations to be vastly happy on some future day
when we have time. -Colton
Man is not the creature of
circumstances, circumstances are the creatures of man. We are free
agents, and man is more powerful than matter. -Benjamin Disraeli
The first man gets the
oyster, the second man gets the shell. -Andrew Carnegie

to use them. -Edgar Watson Howe

He that embarks in the
voyage of life will always wish to advance rather by the impulse of the
wind than the strokes of the oar; and many founder in their passage,
while they lie waiting for the gale. -Johnson
