Young men who have no special worl
to do seldom amount to much. IdleneS
will ruin the most promising young man
1t does not matter much in what work
young man may engage if he is Away
busy. The honor is not in the vocatio
but in the man. The young man VIII
determines upon some special line of wor
and then devotes his time and energy t
that work will not make failure of life
The world is waiting for men of actor
We have no sympathy for the young ma
who spends his time loafing and talkin
about hard times. No use to complain
The world will permit no man to starv
who always does the best his circum
etances will permit.
