We must make up our minds to a life of constant workThe lazy ones or they who ask for pleasure may as well give it up at the threshold
immense fields of investigation and experiment have to be traversed
dangers unthought of and unknown are to be met
and all must be overcome
for in this battle there is no quarter asked or given
Great stores of knowledge must be found and
seized
The kingdom of heaven is not to be had for the asking
It must be taken by violence
And the only way in which we can gain the will and the power to thus seize and hold is by acquiring the virtue on the one hand
And minutely understanding ourselves on the other
Some day we will begin to see why not one passing thought may be ignored, not one flitting impression missed
This we can perceive is no simple task
It is a gigantic work
