All who think cannot but see there is a sanction like that of religion which binds us in partnership in the serious work of the world.

We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.

Applause waits on success.

Lost time is never found again.

Time is money.

You may delay, but time will not.

Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.

Leisure is the time for doing something useful. This leisure the diligent person will obtain the lazy one never.
