-PREFACE
-
-
-Those acts which go to form a person’s influence are little things,
-but they are potential for good or bad in the lives of others. Though
-they are as fleeting as the breath which gave them, their influence is
-as enduring as they reach. But may we strive to scatter loving,
-cheering, encouraging words, to soothe the weary, and awaken the
-nobler feelings of those with whom we daily come in contact.
-
-The cause of great joys, like those of sorrow, are few and far
-between, but every day brings us much good if we will but gather it.
-All successful men are remarkable, not only for general vigor, but for
-their attention. It is often that in view of these facts men will
-often neglect. He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will
-never do anything. In the complicated and marvelous machinery of
-circumstances it is absolutely impossible to decide what would have
-happened to some event if the smallest deviation had taken place in
-the march of those who preceded them. The little things in youth
-accumulate into character in age and destiny in eternity. Little sins
-make up the grand total of life. Each day is brightened or clouded.
-Great things come but seldom, and are often unrecognized until passed.
-If a man conceives the idea of becoming eminent in learning, and
-cannot toil through the many drudgeries necessary to carry him on, his
-learning will soon be told. Or if he undertakes to become rich, but
-despises the small and gradual advances by which wealth is acquired,
-his expectations will be the sum of his riches. The successful
-business man at home, surrounded by articles of luxury, is a spectacle
-calculated to spur on the toiler.
-
-But the merchant at his office has had to work, yes to toil over
-columns of figures to post his ledger; and while you were carelessly
-spending a dollar, he has ransacked his books to discover what has
-become of a stray shilling. Words may seem to us but little things,
-but they possess a power beyond calculation. They swiftly fly from us
-to others, and we scarcely give them a passing thought.
-
-
-
-
-Failure a Stepping Stone to Success.
-
-
-It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much
-oftener succeed through failure. There were hours of despondency when
-Shakespeare thought himself no poet and Raphael no painter, when the
-greatest wits doubted the excellence of their happiest efforts.
-
-Many have to make up their need to encounter failure again and again
-before they finally succeed, but if they have pluck the failure will
-only serve to arouse their energies, and stimulate them to renewed
-efforts. No one can tell how many of the world’s most brilliant
-geniuses have succeed because of their first failures. Precept, study,
-advice and example could never have taught them so well as failure has
-done and this latter is often of more importance than the former.
-
-We have read of our late B. T. Washington, we can realize the fact
-that from boyhood even till his death, he sought an opportunity,
-though the opportunity sometime seemed to be very small. Dr. B. T.
-felt the need of an education yes, he felt there was something he
-could do someday for the betterment of his race, so he accepted the
-small opportunities and after became a man of fame, integrity, and
-honor, he did not have the opportunity that most of the boys and girls
-have today, but because of his determination he was able to live and
-die a man of fame and honor.
-
-Young Ladies and Gentlemen; a great deal has been done to help improve
-to the race, but do you know there is still more to be done, and there
-is something that we can do. There is more expected of us today than
-it was expected of men years ago; so we must begin work more earlier
-in life. Young Ladies and Gentlemen; let us put our whole heart mind
-and brains to work to help improve our race; though we may fail but
-from this failure we can organize future success.
-
-We may wish ourselves great but unless we do something we shall
-forever be a wisher.
-
-We must realize that our ways in this world is like a wall under a row
-of trees, checked with light and shade, and because we cannot all walk
-along in the sunshine, we therefore, fix upon the darker passages and
-so lose all the comfort of the cheering ones. There is no royal road
-to success, the road that leads to success lies through fields of
-hard, earnest and patient labor, it calls on the young man and woman
-put forth all energy, and bids him build well his foundation, go to
-success since it will not come to you, and remember even as steel is
-tempered by heat, and through much hammering and changing original
-form, is at last wrought into useful articles, so in the history of
-many men do we find that they were attempered in the furnace of trials
-and afflictions.
-
-Let us then strive against despondency, even when the way before us is
-both dark and dreary it still is worse than useless to give away to
-despondency. Energy and proper afflictions may recover what you have
-lost; take heart; pluck up courage; give not over to despondency; by
-confronting the evils of life they will lose their force.
-
-We are able to know today that intelligence has awakened and spreaded
-out her hands, and from time immemorial intellectual endowment have
-been crowned with bays of honor, men have worshiped at the sign of
-intellect with almost an eastern idolatry, the world at large has
-crowned education with its richest honors, its pathway has been strewn
-with flowers, its brow has won the loftiest plume, and now we own
-schools, we must prepare ourselves to meet the demand of the world,
-rouse ourselves, and do not allow our best years to slip past because
-we have not succeeded as we thought we would. Why; because the man who
-never failed is a myth. If we fail now and then do not be discouraged.
-It is indeed a happy providence that given to mankind the bright
-shining sun of hope to dispel the gloom of despondency. We have all
-seen the sunburst from behind the clouds and light up a storm swept
-landscape.
-
-The trouble is, that many of us when we are under any affliction, are
-troubled with certain malicious melancholy, never take notice of the
-most benighting ones.
-
-We must bear in mind that it is only the past and experience of every
-successful man. The most successful men oftener have the most
-failures. These failures which to the feeble are mere stumbling
-blocks, to the strong serve to remove the scales from their eyes so
-that they now see clearer, and go on their way with a firmer tread and
-more determined mien, and compel life to yield to them its most
-enduring trophies.
-
-The world is not coming to an end, nor society going to destruction,
-because our petty plans have miscarried. The present failure should
-only teach us to be more wary in the future and this will gather a
-rich harvest as the final outcome of our efforts. The most successful
-men oftener has the most failures. So if success were to crown our
-efforts now, where would be the great success of our future.
-
-
-
-
-HOW TO SUCCEED—BOTH ARE NEEDED.
-
-
-Conditions are by no means what they should be unless there is
-opportunity for the full development of manners and politeness.
-
-There is a great difference between manners and politeness. Manners is
-one thing and politeness is another. A person possessed of these
-qualities, though he had never seen a court, is truly agreeable; and
-if without them would continue a clown, though he had been all his
-life a gentleman usher. A traveler of taste at once perceives that the
-educated men are polite all the world over, but that ignorant men are
-polite only at home. Good manners are well-nigh an essential part of
-life’s education, and their importance cannot be too largely magnified
-when we consider that they are the outward expression of an inward
-virtue. Social courtesies should emanate from the heart, for remember
-always that the worth of manners consists in being the sincere
-expression of feelings. Like the dial of a watch, they should indicate
-that the works within are good and true. True civility needs no false
-lights to show its points. It is the embodiment of truth, the mere
-opening out of the inner self.
-
-The truest politeness comes of sincerity. It must be the outcome of
-the heart or it will make no lasting impression, for no amount of
-polish will dispense with truthfulness. To acquire that ease and grace
-of manners which distinguishes and is possessed by every well-bred
-person one must think of others rather than of one’s self, and study
-to please them even at one’s own convenience. The golden rule of life
-is also the law of politeness, and such politeness implies
-self-sacrifice, many struggles and conflicts. It is an art and tact
-rather than an instinct and inspiration.
-
-Many a man who now stands ranked as a gentleman because his smile is
-ready and his bow exquisite, is in reality unworthy of an honor, since
-he cares more for the least incident pertaining to his own comfort
-than he does for the greatest occasion of discomfort to others. A man
-of politeness and manners does not hint by words that he deems himself
-better, wiser or richer than any one about him. He is “never stuck
-up,” nor looks down upon others because they have no titles, honors or
-social position equal to his own. He never boasts of his achievements
-by affecting to underrate what he has done. He prefers to act rather
-than to talk, to be busy rather than to seem, above all things is
-distinguished by his deep insight and sympathy, his quick perception
-of an attention to those little and apparently insignificant things
-that may cause pleasure or pain to others. In giving his opinions he
-does not dogmatize. He listens patiently and respectfully to all other
-men, and, if compelled to dissent from their opinions, acknowledges
-his fallibility and asserts his own views in such a manner as to
-command the respect of all who hear him. Frankness and cordiality mark
-all his intercourse with his fellows and, however high his station,
-the humblest man feels instantly at ease in his presence. The success
-or failure of one’s plans have often turned upon the address and
-manner of the man. If we wish to be successful men and women, we must
-first be in possession of both politeness and manners.
-
-
-
-
-POVERTY MAY BE A BITTER DRAUGHT, YET IT OFTEN IS A TONIC.
-
-
-The majority of the men of note in this country are not the sons of
-those fathers who could give them all they want, and much more than
-they should have, but are those who were brought up in cottages and
-cabins cutting their way through difficulties on every side to their
-present commanding position.
-
-It is not prosperity so much as advertising, not wealth so much as
-poverty, that stimulates the perseverance of strong and healthy
-natures, rouses their energies and develops their character. Indeed,
-misfortune and poverty have frequently converted an indolent votary of
-society into a useful member of the community and made him a moving
-power in the great workshop of the world, teaching men and developing
-the powers which Nature has bestowed on them.
-
-It can’t be too often repeated that it is not the blessings of life,
-its sunshine and calms, that make men, but its rugged experiences, its
-storms and trials. Thousands of men are bemoaning present indigence
-who might have won riches and honor had they only been compelled by
-early poverty to develop their manhood. Poverty does more, perhaps,
-than anything else to develop the energetic, self-reliant trait of
-character, without which the highest ability makes but sorry work of
-life’s battles.
-
-Of all poverty that of the mind is the most deplorable, and is at the
-same time without excuse. Every one who wills it can lay in a rich
-store of mental wealth. The poor man’s purse may be empty, but he has
-as much gold in the sunset, and as much silver in the moon, as
-anybody. Wealth of heart is not dependent upon wealth of purse.
-
-Thus the evils of poverty are much exaggerated, and the evils, if
-evils they be, are often all for our own ultimate good. Poverty is
-the great test of civility and touch-stone of friendship. It is one of
-the mysteries of our life that genius, the noblest gift of God to man,
-is nourished by poverty.
-
-
-
-
-THE VICE OF SELFISHNESS DISPLAYS ITSELF IN MANY WAYS.
-
-
-The selfish person lives as if the world were made altogether for him,
-and not he for the world, to take in everything and part with nothing.
-Unselfish and noble acts are the most radiant epochs in the history of
-souls, when wrought in earliest youth, they lie in the memory of age.
-
-Selfishness contracts and narrows our benevolence and causes us, like
-serpents, to infold ourselves within ourselves, and to turn out our
-stings to all the world besides. As frost to the bud and blight to the
-blossom, even such is self-interest to friendship, for confidence
-cannot dwell where selfishness is porter at the gate.
-
-Selfishness is the bone of all life and dwarfs all the better nature
-of man. It takes from him that feeling of kindly sympathy for others’
-good, which is one of the most pleasing traits of manhood, and in
-itself sets up self as the one whose good is to be chiefly sought.
-These withering effects are to be seen not only in the high road and
-public places of life, but in the nooks and bylanes as well. Not alone
-among conquerors and kings, but among the humble and obscure in the
-unsanctified lust of wealth.
-
-As heat changes the hitherto brittle metal into the elastic yielding,
-yet deadly Damascus blade, so when the demon of avarice finds lodgment
-in the heart of men, it changes all his better nature.
-
-It may find him delighted to good and relieving the wants of others;
-it leaves him one whose whole energy and power are turned to
-advancement of self alone.
-
-
-
-
-THE GREATEST MISFORTUNE OF ALL IS NOT TO BE ABLE TO BEAR MISFORTUNE.
-
-
-Heaven in its mercy has placed the fountain of wisdom in the hidden
-and concealed depths of the soul, that the children of misfortune
-might seek and find in its healthful waters the antidote and cordial
-of their cares. Knowledge and sorrow are blended together, just as
-ignorance and folly.
-
-Man is like a sword in a shop window. Men that look upon the perfect
-blade do not dream of the process by which it was completed. Man is a
-sword; daily life is the workshop and God is the artificer, and the
-trials and sorrows of life the very things that fashion the man. When
-borne down by trials they are sent only for instructions.
-
-In youth we look forward, the future appears calm as we approach
-manhood and womanhood life changes its appearance and becomes
-tempestuous and rough, as the ocean changes before the storm. In the
-changes of life real joy and grief are never far apart.
-
-Trials come in a thousand different forms and many avenues are open to
-their approach. They come with the warm throbbing of our youthful
-lives, keep pace with the measured tread of manhood’s noon, and depart
-not from the descending footsteps of decrepitude age. We may not hope
-to be entirely free from either disciplinary trials or the fiery darts
-of the enemy until we are through with life’s burdens. Men may be so
-old that ambition has no chain, but they are never too old to
-experience trials. Misfortune gathers around great men as storms do
-around great mountains, but, like them, they break the storms and
-purify the air. Those who have had misfortune are like those who know
-many languages. They have learned to understand and be understood by
-all. Time is the rider that breaks youth. To the young how bright the
-world looks—how full of novelty and enjoyment. But as years pass on
-they are found to abound in sorrowful scenes as well as those pleasant
-scenes of toil, suffering, difficulty and perhaps misfortune and
-failure. Happy are they who can pass through misfortune with a firm
-mind and a pure heart, encountering trials with cheerfulness and
-standing erect beneath even the heaviest burdens.
-
-Misfortune is a crown of thorns, but it becomes a wreath of light on
-the brow which it has lacerated. Oh, it is a cross on which the spirit
-groans. Let us learn to be able to bear our misfortune, because every
-Calvary has an Olivet. To every place of crucifixion there is likewise
-a place of ascension. So to be successful in this life we must be able
-to bear misfortunes.
-
-
-
-
-ADVERSITY THE TOUCH STONE OF CHARACTER.
-
-
-At a superficial view it appears that adversity happens to all alike,
-without regard to rank or condition. People are continually rising and
-falling in all degrees of association. We often see men of high
-expectations cut down and left to struggle with despair and ruin. Much
-of the most useful work done by men and women has been amidst
-afflictions—sometimes as a relief from it, sometimes as a sense of
-duty overwhelming their personal sorrows.
-
-There beats not a heart but that has felt the force of adversity.
-There is not an eye but has witnessed many scenes of sorrow. How can
-we exercise the grace of contentment if all things succeed well, or
-that of forgiveness if we have no enemies! Sad accidents and a state
-of adversity are the school of virtue. It reduces our spirits to
-soberness and our counsels to moderation. God, who governs the world
-in mercy and wisdom, never would have suffered the virtuous ones to
-endure so many afflictions did He not intend that they should be the
-seminary of comfort, the nursery of virtue, the exercise of wisdom and
-the trial of patience, venturing for a crown and the gate of glory.
-Adversity sent by Providence must be submitted to in a humble spirit,
-or they will not conduce to lasting good. As the musician straineth at
-his strings, and yet breaketh none of them, but maketh thereby a sweet
-melody and better concord. Adversity is the medicine of the mind. If
-it is not pleasing it is wholesome. No soul is so obscure that God
-does not take thought for its schooling. The sun is the central light
-of the solar system; but it has a mission to the ripening corn and the
-purpling cluster on the vine, as well as the ponderous planet. The
-sunshine that comes fluttering through the morning mists with healing
-on its wings, and charging all the birds to singing, should have also
-a message from God to sad hearts. No soul is so grief-laden that it
-may not be lifted to sources of heavenly comfort by recognizing the
-divine love in the recurrence of earthly blessings. In a great
-adversity there is no light either in the mind or in the sun, for when
-the inward light is fed with fragrant oil there can be no darkness,
-though clouds should cover the sun. But when, like a sacred lamp in
-the temple, the inward light is quenched, there is no light outwardly,
-though a thousand suns should preside in the heavens.
-
-
-
-
-TRUE DIGNITY OF MIND.
-
-
-True dignity of mind is always modest in expression. The grace of an
-action is gone as soon as we are convinced that it was done only that
-persons might applaud the act. But he who is truly great, and does
-good because it is his duty, is not at all anxious that others should
-witness his acts. His aim is to do good because it is right.
-
-It is impossible to conceive of a truly great character and not think
-of one with the spirit of kindness. True dignity of spirit will not
-dwell with the haughty in manner. True dignity delights to take up its
-abode with the generous and those who seek to relieve the misery of
-others as they would their own. As long as human nature is a mass of
-contradictions this is not to be wondered at. But the influence of
-such men is ever working, and will sooner or later show itself. Men
-such as these are the true life-blood of the community to which they
-belong. True dignity of character is within the reach of all. It is
-the result of patient endeavors after a life of goodness and, when
-acquired, cannot be swept unless by the consent of its possessor.
-Wealth may be lost by no fault of its possessor, but greatness of soul
-is an abiding quality.
-
-One may fail in his other aims; the many accidents of life may bring
-to naught his most patient endeavors after worldly fame or success;
-but he who strives for dignity of character will not fail of reward if
-he but diligently seek the same by earnest resolve and patient labor.
-
-Is there not in this a lesson of patience for many who are almost
-weary of striving for better things? If success does not crown their
-ambitious efforts, will they not be sustained by the smile of an
-approving conscience? Strong in this, they can wait with patience
-till, in the fullness of time, their reward cometh.
-
-
-
-
-TO BE FAMOUS WE MUST BE AMBITIOUS.
-
-
-Young ladies and gentlemen, an appeal to you.
-
-The desire to be thought well of, to desire to be great in goodness,
-is in itself a noble quality of the mind, and is often termed
-ambition. If it is our ambition to gain distinction, we will rob the
-weak and flatter the strong, and become the fawning slave of those who
-are able to foist us above our betters and deck us with the titles and
-honors of the great without any regard to our own merit of
-respectability. But if we are ambitious to do good, without any regard
-for the fame we may win or the praise we may command, our course will
-be honorable and our acts and deeds most worthy and good. When we have
-done with the world the prints of our worthy ambition we will still
-remain in the minds of those who come after us to enjoy and reap the
-benefits, for which they will revive our memory and retain our names
-in the lists of those whose labors have aided in enlightening the
-world and exalting the general interest of mankind.
-
-Much of the advancement of the world can be traced of the efforts of
-those who were moved by ambition to become famous. Ambition is like
-fire. It is an excellent servant, but a poor master. As long as it is
-held strictly to integrity and honor, and to conform to the
-requirements of justice, there is but little danger of a man’s having
-too much of it.
-
-Ambition is an excessive quality and, as such, is apt to lead us to
-the most extraordinary results. But if our ambition leads us to excel
-or seek to excel in that which is good, the currents it may induce us
-to support will be of great good. But if it is stimulated by pride,
-envy or vanity, we will confine our support principally to the counter
-currents of life, and thus leave behind us misery and destruction.
-
-The happiness promised by ambition dissolves in sorrow just as we are
-about to grasp it. It makes the same mistake concerning wealth. She
-begins by accumulating power as a means of happiness, but she finishes
-by continuing to accumulate it as an end.
-
-
-
-
-DARK AND FULL OF DISAPPOINTMENTS MAY BE OUR LOT.
-
-
-It is generally known that he who expects much will be often
-disappointed; yet disappointment seldom cures us of expectations. But
-one of the saddest thoughts that come to us in life is the thought
-that in this bright, beautiful and joy-giving world of ours there are
-many shadowed lives. There is but one way in which we can succeed,
-when we admit that happiness is but a state of the mind, and that
-success is the faithful performance of known duties, then shall we
-acquire both. Though we may wander the wide world over and gather
-wealth and fame, they will be found impotent to confer happiness, and
-life to us will seem full of disappointments; but it is because we
-failed to seek for life in that spirit of quiet content which conducts
-it. It never happened to any man since the making of this world nor
-ever will, to have all things according to his desires. If you risk
-nothing, of course you lose nothing. Let him who is enlisted for the
-war expect to meet the foe. It is with life’s troubles as with the
-risks of the battlefield—there is always less danger to the party who
-stands firm than to the one who gives way. To give way to
-disappointments is to invite defeat. To bravely cast about for means
-to resist them is to put them to flight, and out of temporary
-misfortune by the foundation of a more glorious success, by sending
-disappointments to the winds; taking life as it is and with a strong
-will, make life as near what it should be as possible.
-
-The most pure lives sometimes are those who are met with the most
-disappointments. With some it is the wreck of a great ambition. Yes,
-he has built his ship and launched it on the sea of life loaded with
-the richest jewels of his strength and manhood. And behold, it comes
-back to him beaten and battered by the fury gale. We may add some rays
-of sunshine to our path if we earnestly try to dispel the clouds of
-discontent that may arise in our bosom, and by doing so enjoy fully
-the bountiful blessings that God our creator has given to his humblest
-creatures.
-
-
-
-
-MEMORY IS THE CABINET OF THE IMAGINATION.
-
-
-Memory is the cord binding all the natural gifts and excellences
-together, and though it is not wisdom in itself, still it is the
-primary fundamental power without which there could be no other
-intellectual operations. The memory of good actions is the starlight
-of the soul. Yes, it tempers prosperity by recalling past distress, by
-bringing up the thoughts of past joys. It controls youth and delights
-old age. Without memory life would be a blank. The mind must be made
-to think as to remember and to remember principles and outlines. We
-think of faces, and they return to us as plainly as when their
-presence gladdened our eyes. When sorrow and trial, care and
-temptation surrounded us how often do we gain courage and renewed
-strength by thinking of the past. The course of none has been along so
-beaten a road that they remember not fondly some resting places in
-their journey—some turns in their path in which lovely prospects
-broke in upon them. How much is spoken which deserves no remembrance,
-and which does not serve as a simple link in one’s existence not
-calling forth one result for others’ need or thrilling one chord with
-nobler impulses. The gift of memory is diversified to different
-people, some having a taste of history, some for literature and others
-delight in politics, and so on through all the different phases of
-existence. Memory has been compared to a storehouse. How much
-important then that we renew the mind to healthful actions instead of
-feeding it on poisons until it will produce nothing but poisonous
-thoughts.

-Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright
-law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works,
-so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United
-States without permission and without paying copyright
-royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part
-of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
-concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark,
-and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you receive
-specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of this
-eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook
-for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports,
-performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given
-away--you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks
-not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the
-trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

-START: FULL LICENSE
-
-THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
-PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
-
-To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
-distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
-(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full
-Project Gutenberg-tm License available with this file or online at
-www.gutenberg.org/license.
-
-Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
-and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
-(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
-the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or
-destroy all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your
-possession. If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a
-Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound
-by the terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the
-person or entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph
-1.E.8.
-
-1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
-used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
-agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
-things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
-paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this
-agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
-
-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the
-Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
-of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual
-works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
-States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
-United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
-that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting
-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
-Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily
-comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
-same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when
-you share it without charge with others.
-
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
-in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
-check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
-agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
-distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
-other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
-representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
-country outside the United States.
-
-1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
-
-1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other
-immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear
-prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work
-on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the
-phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
-performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
-
-  This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
-  most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
-  restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
-  under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this
-  eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the
-  United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
-  are located before using this ebook.
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
-contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
-copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
-the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
-redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply
-either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or
-obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
-
-1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
-with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
-must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any
-additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms
-will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works
-posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
-beginning of this work.
-
-1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
-work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
-
-1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
-electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
-prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
-active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm License.
-
-1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
-compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including
-any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access
-to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format
-other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official
-version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site
-(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
-to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means
-of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original "Plain
-Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the
-full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
-
-1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
-performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
-unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
-
-1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
-access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-provided that
-
-* You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
-  the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
-  you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed
-  to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has
-  agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
-  Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
-  within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are
-  legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
-  payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
-  Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
-  Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
-  Literary Archive Foundation."
-
-* You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
-  you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
-  does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-  License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
-  copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
-  all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
-  works.
-
-* You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of
-  any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
-  electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
-  receipt of the work.
-
-* You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
-  distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
-
-1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work or group of works on different terms than
-are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing
-from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
-Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
-INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
-DAMAGE.
-
-1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
-the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
-OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
-LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
-
-1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
-warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
-damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
-violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
-agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
-limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
-unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
-remaining provisions.
-
-1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
-accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
-production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
-mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its
-volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous
-locations. Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt
-Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to
-date contact information can be found at the Foundation's web site and
-official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-For additional contact information:

-    Chief Executive and Director
-    gbnewby@pglaf.org
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-<p>Those acts which go to form a person’s influence are little things,
-but they are potential for good or bad in the lives of others. Though
-they are as fleeting as the breath which gave them, their influence is
-as enduring as they reach. But may we strive to scatter loving,
-cheering, encouraging words, to soothe the weary, and awaken the
-nobler feelings of those with whom we daily come in contact.</p>
-
-<p>The cause of great joys, like those of sorrow, are few and far between,
-but every day brings us much good if we will but gather it. All
-successful men are remarkable, not only for general vigor, but for
-their attention. It is often that in view of these facts men will often
-neglect. He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never
-do anything. In the complicated and marvelous machinery of circumstances
-it is absolutely impossible to decide what would have happened
-to some event if the smallest deviation had taken place in the march
-of those who preceded them. The little things in youth accumulate
-into character in age and destiny in eternity. Little sins make up the
-grand total of life. Each day is brightened or clouded. Great things
-come but seldom, and are often unrecognized until passed. If a man
-conceives the idea of becoming eminent in learning, and cannot toil
-through the many drudgeries necessary to carry him on, his learning<!-- TN: original reads "leaning" -->
-will soon be told. Or if he undertakes to become rich, but despises
-the small and gradual advances by which wealth is acquired, his expectations
-will be the sum of his riches. The successful business man
-at home, surrounded by articles of luxury, is a spectacle calculated to
-spur on the toiler.</p>
-
-<p>But the merchant at his office has had to work, yes to toil over columns
-of figures to post his ledger; and while you were carelessly
-spending a dollar, he has ransacked his books to discover what has become
-of a stray shilling. Words may seem to us but little things, but
-they possess a power beyond calculation. They swiftly fly from us to
-others, and we scarcely give them a passing thought.</p>

-
-
-<p>It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through
-success; they much oftener succeed through failure. There
-were hours of despondency when Shakespeare<!-- TN original reads "Shakesphere" --> thought himself
-no poet and Raphael<!-- TN: original reads "Raphel" --> no painter, when the greatest wits
-doubted the excellence of their happiest efforts.</p>
-
-<p>Many have to make up their need to encounter failure
-again and again before they finally succeed, but if they
-have pluck the failure will only serve to arouse their energies,
-and stimulate them to renewed efforts.<!-- TN: period invisible --> No one can
-tell how many of the world’s most brilliant geniuses have
-succeed because of their first failures. Precept, study, advice
-and example could never have taught them so well as failure
-has done and<!-- TN: original reads "hnd" --> this latter is often of more importance than
-the former.</p>
-
-<p>We have read of our late B. T. Washington, we can
-realize the fact that from boyhood even till his death, he
-sought an opportunity, though the opportunity sometime
-seemed to be very small. Dr. B. T. felt the need of an education
-yes, he felt there was something he could do someday
-for the betterment of his race, so he accepted the small
-opportunities and after became a man of fame, integrity,
-and honor, he did not have the opportunity that most of the
-boys and girls have today, but because of his determination
-he was able to live and die a man of fame and honor.</p>
-
-<p>Young Ladies and Gentlemen; a great deal has
-been done to help improve to the race, but do you know
-there is still more to be done, and there is something that
-we can do. There is more expected of us today than it was
-expected of men years ago; so we must begin work more
-earlier in life. Young Ladies and Gentlemen; let us put our
-whole heart mind and brains to work to help improve
-our race; though we may fail but from this failure
-we can organize future success.</p>
-
-<p>We may wish ourselves great but unless we do something
-we shall forever be a wisher.</p>
-
-<p>We must realize that our ways in this world is like a
-wall under a row of trees, checked with light and shade,
-and because we cannot all walk along<!-- TN: original reads "a long" --> in the sunshine, we
-therefore, fix upon the darker passages and so lose<!--TN: original reads "loose" --> all
-the comfort of the cheering ones. There is no royal road
-to success,<!-- TN: comma inserted --> the road that leads to success lies through fields
-of hard, earnest and patient labor, it calls on the young man
-and woman put forth all energy, and bids him build well his
-foundation, go to success since it will not come to you, and
-<a name="png.006" id="png.006" href="#png.006"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>4<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>remember even as steel is tempered by heat, and through
-much hammering and changing original form, is at last
-wrought into useful articles, so in the history of many men
-do we find that they were attempered in the furnace<!-- TN: original reads "furnance" --> of
-trials and afflictions.</p>
-
-<p>Let us then strive against despondency, even when the
-way before us is both dark and dreary it still is
-worse than useless to give away to despondency. Energy
-and proper afflictions may recover what you have lost;<!-- TN: semicolon inserted --> take
-heart; pluck up courage; give not over to despondency;<!-- TN: semicolon inserted --> by
-confronting the evils of life they will lose their force.</p>
-
-<p>We are able to know today that intelligence<!-- TN: original reads "intelligency" --> has awakened
-and spreaded out her hands, and from time immemorial<!-- TN: original reads "imemorial" -->
-intellectual endowment have been crowned with bays of
-honor, men have worshiped at the sign of intellect with
-almost an eastern idolatry<!-- TN: original reads "idolitary" -->, the world at large has crowned
-education with its richest honors,<!-- TN: comma inserted --> its pathway has<!-- TN: original reads "has has" --> been
-strewn<!-- TN: original reads "strown" --> with flowers, its brow has won the loftiest plume,
-and now we own schools, we must prepare ourselves to
-meet the demand of the world, rouse ourselves, and do not
-allow our best years to slip past because we have not succeeded
-as we thought we would. Why; because the man
-who never failed is a myth. If we fail now and then do
-not be discouraged. It is indeed a happy<!-- TN: comma deleted --> providence that
-given to mankind the bright shining sun of hope to dispel
-the gloom of despondency. We have all seen the sunburst
-from behind the clouds and light up a storm swept landscape<!-- TN: original reads "landcape" -->.</p>
-
-<p>The trouble is, that many of us when we are under
-any affliction, are troubled with certain malicious melancholy,<!-- TN: comma inserted -->
-never take notice of the most benighting<!-- TN: original reads "benighing" --> ones.</p>
-
-<p>We must bear in mind that it is only the past and experience
-of every successful man. The most successful
-men oftener have the most failures. These failures which
-to the feeble are mere stumbling blocks, to the strong serve
-to remove the scales from their eyes so that they now see
-clearer, and go on their way with a firmer tread and more
-determined mien, and compel life to yield<!-- TN: original reads "yeild" --> to them its most
-enduring trophies.</p>
-
-<p>The world is not coming to an end, nor society going to
-destruction, because our petty plans have miscarried. The
-present failure should only teach us to be more wary<!-- TN: original reads "weary" --> in
-the future and this will gather a rich harvest as the final
-outcome of our efforts. The most successful men oftener
-has the most failures. So if success were to crown our efforts
-now, where would be the great success of our future.</p>

-</h3>
-
-
-<p>Conditions are by no means what they should be unless
-there is opportunity for the full development of manners and
-politeness.</p>
-
-<p>There is a great difference between manners and politeness.
-Manners is one thing and politeness is another. A person possessed
-of these qualities, though he had never seen a court,
-is truly agreeable; and if without them would continue a
-clown, though he had been all his life a gentleman usher. A
-traveler of taste at once perceives that the educated men are
-polite all the world over, but that ignorant men are polite only
-at home. Good manners are well-nigh an essential part of
-life’s education, and their importance cannot be too largely
-magnified when we consider that they are the outward expression
-of an inward virtue. Social courtesies should emanate
-from the heart, for remember always that the worth of manners
-consists in being the sincere expression of feelings. Like
-the dial of a watch, they should indicate that the works within
-are good and true. True civility needs no false lights to show
-its points. It is the embodiment of truth, the mere opening
-out of the inner self.</p>
-
-<p>The truest politeness<!-- TN: original reads "poilteness" --> comes of sincerity. It must be the
-outcome of the heart or it will make no lasting impression, for
-no amount of polish will dispense with truthfulness. To acquire
-that ease and grace of manners which distinguishes and
-is possessed by every well-bred person one must think of
-others rather than of one’s self, and study to please them even
-at one’s own convenience. The golden rule of life is also the
-law of politeness, and such politeness implies self-sacrifice,
-many struggles and conflicts. It is an art and tact rather
-than an instinct and inspiration.</p>
-
-<p>Many a man who now stands ranked as a gentleman because
-his smile is ready and his bow exquisite, is in reality unworthy
-of an honor, since he cares more for the least incident pertaining
-to his own comfort than he does for the greatest occasion
-of discomfort to others. A man of politeness and manners does
-not hint by words that he deems himself better, wiser or richer<!-- TN: original reads "richeh" -->
-than any one about him. He is “never stuck up,” nor looks
-down upon others because they have no titles, honors or social
-position equal to his own. He never boasts of his achievements
-by affecting to underrate what he has done. He prefers to
-act rather than to talk, to be busy rather than to seem, above
-all things is distinguished by his deep insight and sympathy,
-his quick perception of an attention to those little and
-<a name="png.008" id="png.008" href="#png.008"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>6<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>apparently insignificant things that may cause pleasure or pain to
-others. In giving his opinions he does not dogmatize. He
-listens patiently and respectfully to all other men, and, if compelled
-to dissent from their opinions, acknowledges his fallibility
-and asserts his own views in such a manner as to command
-the respect of all who hear him. Frankness and cordiality
-mark all his intercourse with his fellows and, however high
-his station, the humblest man feels instantly at ease in his
-presence. The success or failure of one’s plans have often
-turned upon the address and manner of the man. If we wish
-to be successful men and women, we must first be in possession
-of both politeness and manners.</p>
-
-
-
-
-<h3 title="Poverty may be a bitter draught, yet it often
-is a tonic">POVERTY MAY BE A BITTER DRAUGHT, YET IT OFTEN
-IS A TONIC.</h3>
-
-
-<p>The majority of the men of note in this country are not the
-sons of those fathers who could give them all they want, and
-much more than they should have, but are those who were
-brought up in cottages and cabins cutting their way through
-difficulties on every side to their present commanding position.</p>
-
-<p>It is not prosperity so much as advertising, not wealth so
-much as poverty, that stimulates the perseverance of strong
-and healthy natures, rouses their energies and develops their
-character. Indeed, misfortune and poverty have frequently
-converted an<!-- TN: original lacks "an" --> indolent votary of society into a useful member of
-the community and made him a moving power in the great
-workshop of the world, teaching men and developing the powers
-which Nature has bestowed on them.</p>
-
-<p>It can’t be too often repeated that it is not the blessings of
-life, its sunshine and calms, that make men, but its rugged experiences,
-its storms and trials. Thousands of men are bemoaning
-present indigence who might have won riches and honor
-had they only been compelled by early poverty to develop
-their manhood. Poverty does more, perhaps, than anything
-else to develop the energetic, self-reliant trait of character,
-without which the highest ability makes but sorry work of
-life’s battles.</p>
-
-<p>Of all poverty that of the mind is the most deplorable, and
-is at the same time without excuse. Every one who wills it
-can lay in a rich store of mental wealth. The poor man’s
-purse may be empty, but he has as much gold in the sunset,
-and as much silver in the moon, as anybody. Wealth of heart
-is not dependent upon wealth of purse.</p>
-
-<p>Thus the evils of poverty are much exaggerated, and the
-evils, if evils they be, are often all for our own ultimate good.
-<a name="png.009" id="png.009" href="#png.009"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>7<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>Poverty is the great test of civility and touch-stone of friendship.
-It is one of the mysteries of our life that genius, the
-noblest gift of God to man, is nourished by poverty.</p>
-
-
-
-
-<h3 title="The vice of selfishness displays itself in
-many ways.">THE VICE OF SELFISHNESS DISPLAYS ITSELF IN
-MANY WAYS.</h3>
-
-
-<p>The selfish person lives as if the world were made altogether
-for him, and not he for the world, to take in everything and
-part with nothing. Unselfish and noble acts are the most radiant
-epochs in the history of souls, when wrought in earliest
-youth, they lie in the memory of age.</p>
-
-<p>Selfishness contracts and narrows our benevolence and
-causes us, like serpents, to infold ourselves within ourselves,
-and to turn out our stings to all the world besides. As frost
-to the bud and blight to the blossom, even such is self-interest
-to friendship, for confidence cannot dwell where selfishness
-is porter at the gate.</p>
-
-<p>Selfishness is the bone of all life and dwarfs all the better
-nature of man. It takes from him that feeling of kindly sympathy
-for others’ good, which is one of the most pleasing traits
-of manhood, and in itself sets up self as the one whose good
-is to be chiefly<!-- TN: original reads "cheifly" --> sought. These withering effects are to be seen
-not only in the high road and public places of life, but in
-the nooks and bylanes as well. Not alone among conquerors<!-- TN: original reads "conquorers" -->
-and kings, but among the humble and obscure in the unsanctified
-lust of wealth.</p>
-
-<p>As heat changes the hitherto<!-- TN: original reads "hither to" --> brittle metal into the elastic
-yielding, yet deadly Damascus blade, so when the demon of
-avarice finds lodgment in the heart of men, it changes all his
-better nature.</p>
-
-<p>It may find him delighted to good and relieving the wants
-of others; it leaves him one whose whole energy and power
-are turned to advancement of self alone.</p>
-
-
-
-
-<h3 title="The greatest misfortune of all is not to be
-able to bear misfortune">THE GREATEST MISFORTUNE OF ALL IS NOT TO BE
-ABLE TO BEAR MISFORTUNE.</h3>
-
-
-<p>Heaven in its mercy has placed the fountain of wisdom in
-the hidden and concealed depths of the soul, that the children
-of misfortune might seek and find in its healthful waters the
-antidote and cordial of their cares. Knowledge and sorrow
-are blended together, just as ignorance and folly.</p>
-
-<p>Man is like a sword in a shop window. Men that look upon
-the perfect blade do not dream of the process by which it was
-completed. Man is a sword; daily life is the workshop and
-God is the artificer, and the trials and sorrows of life the very
-<a name="png.010" id="png.010" href="#png.010"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>8<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>things that fashion the man. When borne down by trials they
-are sent only for instructions.</p>
-
-<p>In youth we look forward, the future appears calm as we
-approach manhood and womanhood life changes its appearance
-and becomes tempestuous and rough, as the ocean changes
-before the storm. In the changes of life real joy and grief
-are never far apart.</p>
-
-<p>Trials come in a thousand different forms and many avenues
-are open to their approach. They come with the warm throbbing
-of our youthful lives, keep pace with the measured tread
-of manhood’s noon, and depart not from the descending footsteps
-of decrepitude age. We may not hope to be entirely free
-from either disciplinary trials or<!-- TN: original reads "of" --> the fiery darts of the enemy
-until we are through with life’s burdens. Men may be so old
-that ambition has no chain, but they are never too old to experience
-trials. Misfortune gathers around great men as
-storms do around great mountains, but, like them, they break
-the storms and purify the air. Those who have had misfortune
-are like those who know many languages. They have learned
-to understand and be understood by all. Time is the rider
-that breaks youth. To the young how bright the world looks—how
-full of novelty and enjoyment. But as years pass on
-they are found to abound in sorrowful scenes as well as those
-pleasant scenes of toil, suffering, difficulty and perhaps misfortune
-and failure. Happy are they who can pass through
-<span class="guesswork" title="reconstructed: missing in original">misfortune wit</span>h<!-- TN: original reads "              h" --> a firm mind and a pure heart, encountering
-trials with cheerfulness and standing erect beneath even the
-heaviest burdens.</p>
-
-<p>Misfortune is a crown of thorns, but it becomes a wreath
-of light on the brow which it has lacerated. Oh, it is a cross
-on which the spirit groans. Let us learn to be able to bear our
-misfortune, because every Calvary<!-- TN: original reads "cavalry" --> has an Olivet<!-- TN: original reads "Olvit" -->. To every
-place of crucifixion there is likewise a place of ascension. So
-to be successful in this life we must be able to bear misfortunes.</p>
-
-
-
-
-<h3 title="Adversity the touch stone of character">ADVERSITY THE TOUCH STONE OF CHARACTER.</h3>
-
-
-<p>At a superficial view it appears that adversity happens to
-all alike, without regard to rank or condition. People are continually
-rising and falling in all degrees of association. We
-often see men of high expectations cut down and left to struggle
-with despair and ruin. Much of the most useful work done by
-men and women has been amidst afflictions—sometimes as a
-relief from it, sometimes as a sense of duty overwhelming
-their personal sorrows.</p>
-
-<p><a name="png.011" id="png.011" href="#png.011"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>9<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>There beats not a heart but that has felt the force of adversity.
-There is not an eye but has witnessed many scenes
-of sorrow. How can we exercise the grace of contentment if
-all things succeed well, or that of forgiveness if we have no
-enemies! Sad accidents and a state of adversity are the
-school of virtue. It reduces our spirits to soberness and our
-counsels to moderation. God, who governs the world in mercy
-and wisdom, never would have suffered the virtuous ones to
-endure so many afflictions did He not intend that they should
-be the seminary of comfort, the nursery of virtue, the exercise
-of wisdom and the trial of patience, venturing for a crown and
-the gate of glory. Adversity sent by Providence must be submitted
-to in a humble spirit, or they will not conduce to lasting
-good. As the musician straineth at his strings, and yet breaketh
-none of them, but maketh thereby a sweet melody and better
-concord. Adversity is the medicine of the mind. If it is not
-pleasing it is wholesome. No soul is so obscure that God does
-not take thought for its schooling. The sun is the central light
-of the solar system; but it has a mission to the ripening corn
-and the purpling cluster on the vine, as well as the ponderous
-planet. The sunshine that comes fluttering through the morning
-mists with healing on its wings, and charging all the birds
-to singing, should have also a message from God to sad hearts.
-No soul is so grief-laden that it may not be lifted to sources of
-heavenly comfort by recognizing the divine love in the recurrence
-of earthly blessings. In a great adversity there is no
-light either in the mind or in the sun, for when the inward light
-is fed with fragrant oil there can be no darkness, though clouds
-should cover the sun. But when, like a sacred lamp in the
-temple, the inward light is quenched, there is no light outwardly,
-though a thousand suns should preside in the heavens.</p>
-
-
-
-
-<h3 title="True dignity of mind">TRUE DIGNITY OF MIND.</h3>
-
-
-<p>True dignity of mind is always modest in expression. The
-grace of an action is gone as soon as we are convinced that
-it was done only that persons might applaud the act. But he
-who is truly great, and does good because it is his duty, is not
-at all anxious that others should witness his acts. His aim is
-to do good because it is right.</p>
-
-<p>It is impossible to conceive of a truly great character and
-not think of one with the spirit of kindness. True dignity of
-spirit will not dwell with the haughty in manner. True dignity
-delights to take up its abode with the generous and those who
-seek to relieve the misery of others as they would their own.
-As long as human nature is a mass of contradictions this is
-<a name="png.012" id="png.012" href="#png.012"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>10<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>not to be wondered at. But the influence of such men is ever
-working, and will sooner or later show itself. Men such as
-these are the true life-blood of the community to which they
-belong. True dignity of character is within the reach of all.
-It is the result of patient endeavors after a life of goodness
-and, when acquired, cannot be swept unless by the consent
-of its possessor. Wealth may be lost by no fault of its possessor,
-but greatness of soul is an abiding quality.</p>
-
-<p>One may fail in his other aims; the many accidents of life
-may bring to naught his most patient endeavors after worldly
-fame or success; but he who strives for dignity of character
-will not fail of reward if he but diligently seek the same by
-earnest resolve and patient labor.</p>
-
-<p>Is there not in this a lesson of patience for many who are
-almost weary of striving for better things? If success does
-not crown their ambitious efforts, will they not be sustained
-by the smile of an approving conscience? Strong in this, they
-can wait with patience till, in the fullness of time, their reward
-cometh.</p>
-
-
-
-
-<h3 title="To be famous we must be ambitious">TO BE FAMOUS WE MUST BE AMBITIOUS.</h3>
-
-
-<p>Young ladies and gentlemen, an appeal to you.</p>
-
-<p>The desire <!-- TN: original reads "deisre" --> to be thought well of, to desire<!-- TN: original reads "deisre" --> to be great in
-goodness, is in itself a noble quality of the mind, and is often
-termed ambition. If it is our ambition to gain distinction, we
-will rob the weak and flatter the strong, and become the fawning
-slave of those who are able to foist us above our betters
-and deck us with the titles and honors of the great without any
-regard to our own merit of respectability. But if we are
-ambitious to do good, without any regard for the fame we may
-win or the praise we may command, our course will be honorable
-and our acts and deeds most worthy and good. When
-we have done with the world the prints of our worthy ambition
-we will still remain in the minds of those who come after us
-to enjoy and reap the benefits, for which they will revive our
-memory and retain our names in the lists of those whose labors
-have aided in enlightening the world and exalting the general
-interest of mankind.</p>
-
-<p>Much of the advancement of the world can be traced of the
-efforts of those who were moved by ambition to become famous.
-Ambition is like fire. It is an excellent servant, but a poor
-master. As long as it is held strictly to integrity and honor,
-and to conform to the requirements of justice, there is but
-little danger of a man’s having too much of it.</p>
-
-<p><a name="png.013" id="png.013" href="#png.013"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>11<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>Ambition is an excessive quality and, as such, is apt to lead
-us to the most extraordinary results. But if our ambition leads
-us to excel or seek to excel in that which is good, the currents
-it may induce us to support will be of great good. But if it
-is stimulated by pride, envy or vanity, we will confine our
-support principally to the counter currents of life, and thus
-leave behind us misery and destruction.</p>
-
-<p>The happiness promised by ambition dissolves in sorrow just
-as we are about to grasp it. It makes the same mistake concerning
-wealth. She begins by accumulating power as a means
-of happiness, but she finishes by continuing<!-- TN: original reads "continunig" --> to accumulate
-it as an end.</p>
-
-
-
-
-<h3 title="Dark and full of disappointments may be our lot">DARK AND FULL OF DISAPPOINTMENTS MAY BE
-OUR LOT.</h3>
-
-
-<p>It is generally known that he who expects much will be
-often disappointed; yet disappointment seldom cures us of
-expectations. But one of the saddest thoughts that come to
-us in life is the thought that in this bright, beautiful and joy-giving
-world of ours there are many shadowed lives. There
-is but one way in which we can succeed, when we admit that
-happiness is but a state of the mind, and that success is the
-faithful performance of known duties, then shall we acquire
-both. Though we may wander the wide world over and gather
-wealth and fame, they will be found impotent to confer happiness,
-and life to us will seem full of disappointments; but it is
-because we failed to seek for life in that spirit of quiet content
-which conducts it. It never happened to any man since the
-making of this world nor ever will, to have all things according
-to his desires. If you risk nothing, of course you lose nothing.
-Let him who is enlisted for the war expect to meet the foe.
-It is with life’s troubles as with the risks of the battlefield—there
-is always less danger to the party who stands firm than
-to the one who gives way. To give way to disappointments is
-to invite defeat. To bravely cast about for means to resist them
-is to put them to flight, and out of temporary misfortune by
-the foundation of a more glorious success, by sending disappointments<!-- TN: original reads "disappintments" -->
-to the winds; taking life as it is and with a strong
-will, make life as near what it should be as possible.</p>
-
-<p>The most pure lives sometimes are those who are met with

-
-
-<p>Memory is the cord binding all the natural gifts and excellences
-together, and though it is not wisdom in itself, still
-it is the primary fundamental power without which there could
-be no other intellectual operations. The memory of good actions
-is the starlight of the soul. Yes, it tempers prosperity
-by recalling past distress, by bringing up the thoughts of past
-joys. It controls youth and delights old age. Without memory
-life would be a blank. The mind must be made to think
-as to remember and to remember principles and outlines. We
-think of faces, and they return to us as plainly as when their
-presence gladdened our eyes. When sorrow and trial, care
-and temptation surrounded us how often do we gain courage
-and renewed strength by thinking of the past. The course of
-none has been along so beaten a road that they remember not
-fondly some resting places in their journey—some turns in
-their path in which lovely prospects broke in upon them. How
-much is spoken which deserves no remembrance, and which
-does not serve as a simple link in one’s existence not calling
-forth one result for others’ need or thrilling one chord with
-nobler impulses. The gift of memory is diversified to different
-people, some having a taste of history, some for literature and
-others delight in politics, and so on through all the different
-phases of existence. Memory has been compared to a storehouse.
-How much important then that we renew the mind
-to healthful actions instead of feeding it on poisons until it
-will produce nothing but poisonous thoughts.</p>

-of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm

-and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you receive
-specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of this
-eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook
-for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports,
-performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given
-away--you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks

-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project

-

-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
