Never idle a moment, but thrifty and thoughtful of others.

The Courtship of Miles Standish (1858)

The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.

Taste the joy
That springs from labor.

From labor there shall come forth rest.
