Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past.

It is always better to be an original than an imitation.

dream men keys
The one quality which sets one man apart from another- the key which lifts one to every aspiration while others are caught up in the mire of mediocrity- is not talent, formal education, nor intellectual brightness - it is self-discipline. With self-discipline all things are possible. Without it, even the simplest goal can seem like the impossible dream.
military war mean
The great body of our citizens shoot less as times goes on. We should encourage rifle practice among schoolboys, and indeed among all classes, as well as in the military services by every means in our power. Thus, and not otherwise, may we be able to assist in preserving peace in the world... The first step – in the direction of preparation to avert war if possible, and to be fit for war if it should come – is to teach men to shoot!
ifs
Do Something Now. If not you, who? If not here, where? If not now, when?

Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.
long progress our-words
Our words must be judged by our deeds; and in striving for a lofty ideal we must use practical methods; and if we cannot attain all at one leap, we must advance towards it step by step, reasonably content so long as we do actually make some progress in the right direction.
political wealth attractive
Of all forms of tyranny the least attractive and the most vulgar is the tyranny of mere wealth.
hard-work successful intelligent
Courage, hard work, self-mastery, and intelligent effort are all essential to successful life.
