“The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell”

“We see men fall from high estate on account of the very faults through which they attained it”

“Let us not cease to do the utmost, that we may incessantly go forward in the way of the Lord; and let us not despair of the smallness of our accomplishments”

“All men were created to busy themselves with labor for the common good”

“Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself”

“The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.”
