Samuel SmilesThe best school of discipline is home. Family life is God's own method of training the young, and homes are very much as women make them.
Samuel SmilesThe path of success in business is invariably the path of common-sense. Nothwithstanding all that is said about "lucky hits," the best kind of success in every man's life is not that which comes by accident. The only "good time coming" we are justified in hoping for is that which we are capable of making for ourselves.
