No man is born into the world whose work is not born with him.

How do I work? I grope.

Every man's task is his life-preserver.

If a man write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mouse-trap than his neighbor, tho' he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.

The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it.

I have yet to find the man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval, than under of a spirit of criticism.

God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supplies.

... it is the work and not the reward that is precious.

When work is a pleasure, life is a joy! When work is a duty, life is slavery.

Let us be grateful to Adam our benefactor. He cut us out of the "blessing" of idleness and won for us the "curse" of labor.
