What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal. To work with the hands or brain, according to our requirements and our capacities, to do that which lies before us to do, is more honorable than rank and title. He who endevours to serve, to benefit and improve the world, is like a swimmer who struggles against a rapid current, in a river lashed into angry waves by the winds. Often they roar over his head, often they beat him back and baffle him. Most men yield to the stress of the current. Only here and there the stout, strong heart and vigorous arms struggle on toward ultimate success. Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted.
