George Meredith.

Chas. W. Wendte

Success in life is a matter not so much of talent or opportunity as of concentration and perseverance.

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

Ruskin.

A haze on the far horizon,

The infinite, tender sky;

The ripe, rich tint of the corn-fields,

And the wild geese sailing high;
