better thing than to arrive, and the True Success is to labor.
--Robert Louis Stevenson.
Whether thy work be fine or coarse, planting corn or writing epics,
so only it be honest work, done to thine own approbation, it shall
earn a reward to sense as well as to the thought.

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.
My Father, make pure living clear to me, that I may not be deceived in
my work; and may I not use my working hours searching for more
suitable work, but may I be sure in what I am that I may feel secure
in what I undertake to do. Amen.
