THINGS TERSELY SAID.
Life is a book
Of clear, white pages. given us at birth,
Wherein to write the record of our lives—
4 The record which beyond us still survives.
The story of our pilgrimage on earth.
A. Bronson ‘Alcott crystallized a
great truth when he said: “We mount
to heaven mostly on the ruins of our
cherished schemes, finding our failures
successes.”
John Wesley showed how foolish
is was for men Wth hape to win to
spend their time in fretting when he
said: “I dare no more fret than I
dare curse and swear.”
When Peter Cooper was asked at
an advanced age how (he had accom-
plished so much and had preserved
his strength of body and mind so well,
he said, “I always find something to
keep me busy.” .
Charles Dickens uttered a sentiment
that every young man who desires suc-
case would do well to lay to heart,
“The one safe, serviceable, remunera-
tive quality in every study and pursuit
is the quality of attention.” '
Sir Walter Raleigh, when asked how
he managed to achieve so many and
such diverSe things, in such brief
times as he required for accomplish-
merit, said. “When I have anything
to do, I go and do it."
The everlasting truth that character
is sure to win success was put ' in
concrete form when Willi-am Evarts
said of a famous pneacher: ‘ “The man
behind the sermon is the secret of
John Hall’s power."
John Stuart Mill showed how pos-
sible it is for a man to rise abow his
environments in lthese words, “Though
character is formed by circumstances,
our own desires‘"can do much to shape
these circumstances.” '
