ONE UNWAVERING AIM.

What mark to aim at, how to use the bow—
Then draw it to the head and let it go.

"He who follows two hares is sure to catch neither."
"A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways."
Let every one ascertain his special business and calling, and then stick to it if he would be successful.—FRANKLIN.
"Digression is as dangerous as stagnation in the career of a young man in business."
Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius.—BULWER.
