If you have talent, industry will improve it. If you have none, industry will supply the deficiency.

Carlyle said: "Rest is a fine medicine. Let your stomachs r9s!, y9 dyspeptics; let your brains rest, ye worried men of business; let your lirnts rest, ye childrin of toil."

Thomas Edison said: "Be courageous. I have lived a !o1g time. I have seen history repeat itself again and again. I have seen many depressions in business. Always America has come out stronger and more prosperous. Be as brave as your fathers before you.*Have faith. Go forward."

He may have a greasy hat, and the seat of his trousers may be shiny, and the banker may not be very well acquainted with his signaturd; but if you see his children with their noses fattened against the window pane watching for him half an hour before he is due home for supper, you can go right ahead and trust him with anything you have.

The most precious trrilg tir"t lrrror", man or business, anybody or anything can have, is the good will of others. It is something as fragile as an orchid and as beautiful, as precious as a gold nugget and as hard to find, as powerful as a great turbine and as hard to build, as wonderful as youth and as hard to keep, this intangible something, the good will of others. * * *

The world is full of people who have a good aim in life but never seem to pull .the tliggerr at the right time.

Andrew Carnegie, who was born and raised in poverty but became one of the world's richest men, left this thought on the subject of wealth versus poverty: "I was born in poverty, and would not exchange its sacred memories with the richest millionaire's son that ever lived. Give me the life of the boy whose mother is nurse, seamstress, washerwoman, cook, teacher, angel, and saint all in one, and whose father is guide, exemplar, and friend. These are the boys who are born to the best fortune. Millionaires who laugh, are rare. My experience is that wealth is apt to take the smiles away."

"When you're licked," said Dolan, "you ought to have sense enough to say you've had enough." "If I've strength enough to say f've had enough," replied Nolan, "I'm not licked."
