GEMS OF THOUGHT
SELF-BUILDING. You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge one for yourself.—Froude. Great results cannot be achieved at once, and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk step by step. —Smiles. Every man must educate himself, his books and teachers are but helps; the work is his. —Daniel Webster. In the mental collisions of mortals and the strain of intellectual wrestlings, moral tension is tested, and, if it yields not, grows stronger—Mary Baker Eddy. The important thing in life is to have a great aim, and to possess aptitude and the perseverance to attain it. —Goethe. The heights by ’great men reached and kept ' Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, , Were toiling upward in the night. —Longfellow.
