If I REST, I RUST
by Orison Marden
Labor vanquishes all--not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremmitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as external vigilance is the price of liberty, so is external industry the price of noble and enduring success.
劳动能征服一切——不是那种三天打鱼两天晒网的劳动，也不是走错方向的劳动，而是有信念的、坚持不懈的、日复一日朝着正确方向走去的付出。正如保持高度的警惕是自由的代价，坚持勤勉也是走向崇高和成功的必经之路。
