The good Lord gave me a brain that works so fast that in one moment I can worry as much as it would take others a whole year to achieve.

You are only young once, and if you work it right, once is enough.
A Spirit, zealous, as he seemed, to know More of the Almighty's works, and chiefly Man, God's latest image.
Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal. The winner is he who gives himself to his work body and soul.
