Drudgery is the gray angel of success.... Look at the leaders in
the professions, the solid men in business, the master-workmen
who begin as poor boys and end by building a town to house their
factory-hands; they are drudges of the single aim.... “One thing
I do.”... Mr. Maydole, the hammer-maker of central New York, was
an artist. “Yes,” he said, “I have made hammers for twenty-eight
years.” “Well, then, you ought to be able to make a pretty good
hammer by this time.” “No, sir,” was the answer. “I never made
a pretty good hammer; I make the best hammer made in the United
States.”--WILLIAM C. GANNETT.
