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.
