Samuel Smiles Quotes : pic 000803347

Samuel Smiles Quotes : pic 001166342

Samuel Smiles Quotes : pic 001196368
It is observed at sea that men are never so much disposed to grumble and mutiny as when least employed. Hence an old captain, when there was nothing else to do, would issue the order to scour the anchor. -- Samuel Smiles

Samuel Smiles Quotes : pic 001362796
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved. -- Samuel Smiles

Admiration of great men, living or dead, naturally evokes imitation of them in a greater or less degree. -- Samuel Smiles
