High aims form high characters, and great objects bring out great minds. – Tryon Edwards
Any act often repeated soon forms a habit and habit allowed, steady gains in strength, At first it may be but as a spiders web, easily broken through, but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel. – Tryon Edwards
To rejoice in anothers prosperity is to give content to your lot; to mitigate anothers grief is to alleviate or dispel your own. – Tryon Edwards
