SUCCEss.-Every man must patiently
abide his time. He must wait, net in
listless idleness, not in useless pastime,
not in querulous detection, but in con-
slant, steady fulfilling and accomplish
ing his task; that when the occasion
comes, he may be equal to the occasion.
The talent of success is nothing more
than doing what you can do well, with
out thought of fame. If it comes at
all, it will come because it is deserved,
not because it is sought after. 1t is a
very indiscreet and troublesome ambi-
ton which cares so much about fame;
about what the world says of us; to be
always looking in the face of others for
approval; to be always anxious about
the effect of what we do or say; to be
always shouting TO hear the echoes OF
our own voices.-LonatelloT.
