Quote

Engage in one kind of business only, and stick to it faithfully until you succeed, or until you conclude to abandon it. A constant hammering on one nail will generally drive it home at last, so that it can be clinched.

Fortune always favors the brave, and never helps a man who does not help himself.
P. T. Barnum

The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.
