It is the old route of labor, along which are many landmarks and 
many wrecks. It is lesson after lesson with the scholar, blow after blow 
with the laborer, crop after crop with the farmer, picture after picture 
with the painter, step after step and mile after mile with the traveler, that 
secures what all desire—success. 
Well, then, dear reader, labor on patiently, whatever may be your 
task. 
Work wisely and steadily, and in due time you will be crowned with 
that success which you skll have so richly earned. 
“ ’Tisdn mortals to command success; 
But we’ll do more, Sempronius,—we’ll deserve it.” 
— Addison. 
For some it may be well to remember, and even to ponder, what 
Shakespeare says: 
“Fling away ambition; 
By that sin fell the angels; how can man then, 
The image of his Maker, hope to win by’t ? 
Love thyself last; cherish those hearts that hate thee; 
Corruption wins not more than honesty, 
Still, in thy right hand carry gentle peace. 
To silence envious tongues. Be just, and fear not, 
Let all the ends thou aim’st at, be thy country’s, 
Thy God’s and truth’s; then if thou fall’st, 
Thou fall’st a blessed martyr.” 
— Shahespeare, Henry VIII.
