THOUGHTS ON WORK

It is impossible to achieve by doing less than ones best.
 It matters not whether ones job be to stoke a furnace,pound a typewriter, handle tools, tend looms, dig coal, run an engine, answer correspondence teach children, sweep the streets, preach, blow, sell goods or edit a publication, the work can be done in way that degrades it.
 Not the nature of the work, but the nature of the spirit in which the work is done, counts.
 No man or woman who is doing superior work ever feels superior to that work.
 It is he who is doing work in a way that is not worth doing who feels that the work is not worth doing.
 Were Carlyle alive today he could not write a truer or more timely word than this : Work is the grand cure for all the maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind-hon- est work which you intend getting done. "-Forbes Maga-
