The two fortresses which are the last to yield in the human heart, are hope and pride.

"Hope springs eternal in the human breast," and is as necessary to life as the act of breathing.

Habit is a powerful means of advancement, and the habit of eternal vigilance and diligence, rarely fails to bring a substantial reward.

There must be vistas flying out beyond, that promise more than present conditions yield.

The two fortresses which are the last to yield in the human heart, are hope and pride.

Some blessings have been ours in the past, and these may be repeated or even multiplied.

Tomorrow may be fair, however stormy the sky of today.
