Other Samuel Smiles quotes:
Luck whines; labor whistles.
Energy enables a man to force his way through irksome drudgery and dry details, and carries him onward and upward in every station in life.
Those who aren't making mistakes probably aren't making anything.
It is the close observation of little things which is the secret of success in business, in art, in science, and in every pursuit of life.
He who labours not, cannot enjoy the reward of labour.
It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice, and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done.
Diligence, above all, is the mother of good luck.
Work is one of the best educators of practical character.
He who never made a mistake, never made a discovery.
Length of years is no proper test of length of life. A man's life is to be measured by what he does in it and what he feels in it.
