"Let every man be OCCUPIED, and occupied in the highest employment of which his nature is capable, and die with the consciousness that he has done his best"-- Sydney Smith.
WORK is one of the best educators of practical character.

It evokes and disciplines obedience, self-control, attention, application, and perseverance; giving a man deftness and skill in his special calling, and aptitude and dexterity in dealing with the affairs of ordinary life.
Work is the law of our being--the living principle that carries men and nations onward.

The greater number of men have to work with their hands, as a matter of necessity, in order to live; but all must work in one way or another, if they would enjoy life as it ought to be enjoyed.
Labour may be a burden and a chastisement, but it is also an honour and a glory.
