Perseverance

The old saying is that all things
come to those who wait. Change
this so as to make it declare that
nearly all the good things are pos
sible to those who will persevere
long enough in seeking them, and
you will have an important state
ment which does not at all exceed
the limits of truth. If, too, you
should turn it around, the converse
of it would be equally true; for
without perseverance we need
have no expectation of either ac-
quiring much or being of much
service to our fellow-creatures.
