In battle or business, whatever the game,
In law or in love, it is ever the same:
In the struggle for power, or scramble for pelf,
Let this be your motto: "Rely on yourself."
--John G. Saxe.
Labor is necessary to excellence. This is an eternal truth, although
vanity cannot be taught to believe or indolence to heed it.
--John Randolph.
But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his
glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of his neighbor.
--Galatians 6. 4.
Almighty God, I regret the hours of indiscretion and waste; through
thy forgiveness may I have thy help over past wrongs. May I have a
deeper conception of a profitable life, that I may hereafter live by
it. Amen.
