Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.
All virtue is summed up in dealing justly.
It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom. Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids. The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of circumstances. It concerns us to know the purposes we seek in life, for then, like archers aiming at a definate mark, we shall be more likely to attain what we want.
