Abraham Lincoln was a rail splitter. Gen. Grant was a tanner.
John Jacob Aston once sold apples on the streets of New York.
Benjamin Franklin was the son of a tallow chandler and soap boiler.
Many men have been obscure in their origin and birth, but great and glorious in life and death. NOTED EXAMPLES:
Look over the history of this country and see what prominent men are owing their prosperity to to rich parents. They are not to be found.
Rich men are more punished for their excess of economy than poor men are for their want of it. They become miserly and die deaths of beggars
EAGER TO BE RICHER: Men go on, toiling and moiling eager to be richer; worrying themselves incessantly in the endeavor to grasp superfluity.
POWER OF RICHES: The truth is, we very much exaggerate the power of riches. It takes character to do the work; money never can.
DOING GOOD: The same feeling pervades our common humanity. If God blesses you with riches remember your fellow man in need of bread.
Man must be thrifty in order to be generous. Thrift does not end with itself, but extends its benefits to others. It founds and endows.
4) The Farmer Boys: There is scarcely a prominent man in America, and scarcely a man of wealth, who was not born and raised upon the farm.
3) City Life: The cities are full of unemployed, and all sorts of vice, temptation, and wickedness abound.
2) The Farmer: The boys who have hitherto looked forward to the city for living should turn toward the country as their hope and opportunity
THE YOUNG MAN'S CHANCE: 1)The Opportunity: Consider the advisability of becoming a thrifty farmer!
FACT: Nine tenths of the successful men in this country to-day have made their money by continuous strokes.
