As steady application to work is the healthiest training for every
individual, so is it the best discipline of a state. Honorable industry
always travels the same road with enjoyment and duty, and progress is
altogether impossible without it.--_Samuel Smiles._
Nature is just towards men. It recompenses them for their sufferings; it
renders them laborious, because to the greatest toils it attaches the
greatest rewards.--_Montesquieu._
