rue pride of life; grounded in active
employment, though early ardor may abate, it never degenerates into
indifference, and age lives in perennial youth. Life is a weariness
only to the idle, or where the soul is empty.--LEO W. GRINDON.

This we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he
eat.--II THESS. 3:10.

If you do not wish for His kingdom do not pray for it. But if you do
you must do more than pray for it, you must work for it.--RUSKIN.

No man is born into the world whose work is not born with him. There
is always work, and tools to work withal, for those who will; and
blessed are the horny hands of toil.--LOWELL.

I doubt if hard work, steadily and regularly carried on, ever yet hurt
anybody.--LORD STANLEY.

Women are certainly more happy in this than we men: their employments

It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Work is healthy; you could
hardly put more upon a man than he can bear. Worry is rust upon the
blade. It is not the revolution that destroys the machinery, but the
friction.--BEECHER.

WORLD.--The world is a country which nobody ever yet knew by
description; one must travel through it one's self to be acquainted
with it. The scholar, who in the dust of his closet talks or writes of
the world, knows no more of it than that orator did of war, who
