IF I REST I RUST
Hi:
Extracts from a short story by Orison Swett Marden
Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous GEOLOGIST.
The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a MATHEMATICAL DICTIONARY, never have found the key to the science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments, snatched from the duties of a gardener, to idleness.
Had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside, instead of calculating the position of the stars by the help of a string of beads, he would never have become a famous ASTRONOMER.
“Labor vanquishes all,”–not in constant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor, but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.
“Seize, then, the MINUTES as they pass;
The woof of life is thought!
Warm up the colors; let them glow
With fire of fancy fraught.”
