Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it.
Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession – a property entirely our own.
Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.
The very greatest things – great thoughts, discoveries, inventions – have usually been nurtured in hardship, often pondered over in sorrow, and at length established with difficulty.
Progress however, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.
