“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.”

SOLOMON

“I should never have made my success in life if I had not bestowed upon the least thing I have ever undertaken the same attention and care that I have bestowed upon the greatest.”

C. DICKENS

“I hate to see a thing done by halves; if it be right, do it boldly; if it be wrong, leave it undone.”

GILPIN

“What shall I do to gain eternal life?
Discharge aright
The simple dues with which each day is rife –

Yea, with thy might.

Ere perfect scheme of action thou devise
Will life be fled;
While he who ever acts as conscience cries
Shall live, tho’ dead.”

SCHILLER
