--SCHLEIERMACHER.
On bravely through the sunshine and the showers!
Time hath his work to do, and we have ours.
--EMERSON.
We enjoy ourselves only in our work, our doing; and our best doing is
our best enjoyment.--JACOBI.
The modern majesty consists in work. What a man can do is his greatest
ornament, and he always consults his dignity by doing it.--CARLYLE.
Work, according to my feeling, is as much of a necessity to man as
eating and sleeping. Even those who do nothing which to a sensible man
can be called work, still imagine that they are doing something. The
world possesses not a man who is an idler in his own eyes.--WILHELM
VON HUMBOLDT.
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
judiciously endeavored to instruct Hannibal in it.--CHESTERFIELD.
To know the world, not love her, is thy point;
She gives but little, nor that little long.
--YOUNG.
I am not at all uneasy that I came into, and have so far passed my
course in this world; because I have so lived in it that I have reason
to believe I have been of some use to it; and when the close comes, I
shall quit life as I would an inn, and not as a real home.
