Be not simply good, be good for something.--Th.o.r.eAU

The better part of valour is discretion.--SHAKESPEARE

They that touch pitch will be defiled.--SHAKESPEARE

Ill blows the wind that profits n.o.body.--SHAKESPEARE

Honour and shame from no condition rise; Act well your part, there all the honour lies.

--POPE

True happiness consists not in the mult.i.tude of friends, but in their worth and choice.--BEN JONSON

One "do" is worth a thousand "don'ts" in the destruction of evil or the production of good.--HUGHES

I look upon the simple and childish virtues of veracity and honesty as the root of all that is sublime in character.--EMERSON

Remember that though it is a good thing to be a great man, it is a great thing to be a good man.

Striving not to be rich or great, Never questioning fortune or fate, Contented slowly to earn, and wait.

In the workshop, on the farm, Or wherever you may be, From your future efforts, boys, Comes a nation's destiny.

It is a low benefit to give me something; it is a high benefit to enable me to do something of myself.--EMERSON

Greatly begin! though thou hast time But for a line, be that sublime,-- Not failure, but low aim, is crime.

--LOWELL

Never give up! 'Tis the secret of glory; Nothing so wise can philosophy preach; Look at the lives that are famous in story; "Never give up" is the lesson they teach.

What men want is not talent, it is purpose; in other words, not the power to achieve, but the will to labour.--BULWER-LYTTON

So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is G.o.d to man, When Duty whispers low, _Thou must_, The soul replies _I can_.

--EMERSON

Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it each day, and it becomes so strong we cannot break it.--HORACE MANN

Ponder well, and know the right, Onward then, with all thy might!

Haste not! years can ne'er atone For one reckless action done.

--GOETHE

Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.--CARLYLE

Slight is the sting of his trouble whose winnings are less than his worth: For he who is honest is n.o.ble, whatever his fortune or birth.

--ALICE CARY

Press on! There's no such word as fail!

Push n.o.bly on! The goal is near!

Ascend the mountain! Breast the gale!

Look upward, onward--never fear!

He who has a thousand friends Has not a friend to spare; And he who has one enemy Will meet him everywhere.

--OMAR KHAYYAM

Work for some good, be it ever so slowly; Cherish some flower, be it ever so lowly; Labour!--all labour is n.o.ble and holy.

--FRANCES S. OSGOOD

A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong; which is but saying in other words that he is wiser to-day than he was yesterday.--POPE

Tender-handed stroke a nettle, And it stings you for your pains; Grasp it like a man of mettle, And it soft as silk remains.

Fill up each hour with what will last; Buy up the moments as they go; The life above, when this is past, Is the ripe fruit of life below.
