By night a nuisance and by day—

Confound the cats! Dobbin.

Even poverty has its compensation. Clara Barton.

There is neither teacher nor preacher like necessity.

Clara Barton.

No work can retain its vitality without constant action.

Clara Barton.

Though to bed at daylight, or at best midnight, Clara Barton never slept late in the morning. J. B. Hubbell.

Let us each make haste to do the work set before us, in the Providence of God, unostentatiously, thoroughly and well.

Clara Barton.
