Let us do our duty in our shop or our kitchen, in the market, the street, the office, the school, the home, just as faithfully as if we stood in the front rank of some great battle, and knew that victory for mankind depended on our bravery, strength, and skill.

Let others laugh when you sacrifice desire to duty, if they will. You have time and eternity to rejoice in.
