and struggles shall find.

Struggles bring the most unlikely things within reach.

When a man makes up his mind to do a thing it becomes easy for him to
do it.

If you have a clear thought, be decided, and hesitate not--if you
decide, hesitate not, but carry it out speedily.

You must be ready to confront difficulties if you would realise your
hopes.

It is the part of man to strive, and not to rely on the favours of
Fortune.

Not every one who seeks shall find, nor every one who is indifferent be
denied.

Beware of giving up hope in what you earnestly seek.

A wise man perseveres, and is not easily turned away.

Not by fitful efforts, but by constancy, is an end secured.

The most profitable labour is that which is most persevering--though it
may not be strenuous.

A moderate success is better than overwhelming work.

Success comes to him who abjures procrastination.

The world is the booty of the skilful.

The most wonderful thing in the world is the success of a fool and the

A pleasing manner is a great aid to success.

It is the duty of man to do his utmost, but he is not responsible for
success.

Procrastination means evil.

Put your bread into the oven while it is hot.

If you undertake a work do it speedily.

Profit by occasions when they turn up, and do not worry about an evil
which has not yet come.

Time is a sharp sword--strike with it before you are struck by it.

If you have not sown, and see a reaper in the field, you will regret a
lost opportunity.

ECONOMY

Economy saves half the cost of living.

The value of economy is equal to half of your profits.

Frugality saves a man from poverty.

Little with economy is better than much with waste.

Poverty with freedom from debt is great wealth.

If you count beforehand you will thrive.
