"Success is not wholly free from its hypocrisies. Often it comes to us disguised ; often we pursue the shadow of it while the substance is with us.

Aspiration leading to effort though attended by seeming failure, is sometimes success, while effortless success may be failure; for one carries with it improvement, development, increase of strength, the other weakness and decay."

"When we know our own strength, we shall the better know what to undertake with hopes of success; and when we have well surveyed the powers of our own minds, and made some estimate what we may expect from them, we shall not be inclined either to sit still, and not set our thoughts on work at all, in despair of knowing anything; nor on the other side, question everything, and declaim all knowledge, because some things are not to be understood."
