Hard Work

It is a mistaken idea that hard work kills men.  Hard work never killed a man.  It is the improper care of one’s self when he is not working that does the damage.

The more a man does with his brain the less his hands will have to do.  The better a man’s reasoning and common sense are, the more successful he will be.  It requires hard work these days to keep up with the race.  You can not make a success unless you work hard.

Success comes by inches, not by leaps and bounds.  Success is the pushing forward each day by hard work.

Burn the candle at one end only and you replace each day what you have burned, by rest, sleep and recreation.  By burning the candle at one end only and replacing it fully each day, your candle will not burn out.
