There are words whose sting
can remain through a whole life!--MARY HOWITT.
A word spoken in due season, how good is it!--PROVERBS 15:22, 23.
WORK.--Get work. Be sure it is better than what you work to get.--MRS.
BROWNING.
No man is happier than he who loves and fulfills that particular work
for the world which falls to his share. Even though the full
understanding of his work, and of its ultimate value, may not be
present with him; if he but love it--always assuming that his
conscience approves--it brings an abounding satisfaction.--LEO W.
GRINDON.
Nothing is impossible to industry.--PERIANDER.
In work consists the true 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
occupy a smaller portion of their thoughts, and the earnest longing of
the heart, the beautiful inner life of the fancy, always commands the
greater part.
