GEMS OF THOUGHT
ATTENTION. The power of applying attention, steady and undissipated, to a single object, is the sure mark of a superior genius.—Chesterfield.
If there be anything that can be called genius, it consists chiefly in ability to give that attention to a subject which keeps it steadily in the mind, till we have surveyed it accurately on all sides. —Thomas Reid.
Other things may be seized with might, or purchased with money, but knowledge is to be gained only with study.—Johnson.
Few things a're impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means; that men fail of success.—Rochefoucauld.
The devotion of thought to an honest achievement makes that achievement possible—Mary Baker Eddy.
No abilities, however splendid, can command success without intense labour and persevering application. A. T. Stewart. _____
