Some wise man. maybe it might been wise
woman remark that great work has
been accomplished without enthusiasm"
In thinking this brief pearl wisdom, and is
thing that admits of lot of thinking the truth of the thing

from the humbles to the exalted there must be
spark to the thought and energy to lift
everyone who hopes mediocrity
1t matters little whether it is in the shop the office the
