Study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; that ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.-- 1 THESS iv, 11, 12

Work for some good, be it ever so slowly;

Cherish some flower, be it ever so lowly,

Labor, all labor, is noble and holy,

Let thy great deeds be thy prayer to thy God.

FRANCES S. OSGOOD.

A man who cannot mind his own business is not to be trusted with the king's. SAVILLE

Our grand business in life is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand. CARLYLE.

The young fellow who will distance his competitors is he who masters his business, who preserves his integrity, who lives cleanly and purely, who devotes his leisure to the acquisition of knowledge, who gains friends by deserving them, and who saves his spare money. There are some ways to fortune shorter than this dusty old highway; but the staunch men of the community, the men who achieve something really worth having—good fortune, good name, and serene old age—all go in this road. Secret of Success.

Fidelity is seven-tenths of business success.
