Success.
Unknown Exchanged

Purposes, however wise, without plans,
cannot be relied on for good results.
Random or spasmodic efforts, like aimless
shots, are usually no better than wasted
time and strength. The purposes Of
shrewd men in the business Of this life
are always followed with carefully formed
plans. Whether the object is learning,
honor, or wealth, the WAYS and means are
all laid out according to the best rules
and methods
The mariner has his chart, the architect
his plans, and the sculptor his model
and all as means and condition OF sue
cess. Invention, genius, or even what is
sometimes called inspiration, can do little
in any department, of theoretic or practi-
cal science, except as it works by we'll
formed plan. Then every step is an ad-
vance toward the accomplishment Of the
object. Every tack of ship made accord
ing to nautical laws keeps her steadily
nearer the port. Each stroke of the CHS
ell brings the marble into closer likeness o.
the model No effort or time is lost, fol
nothing is done rashly or at random.
