In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, INDUSTRY and FRUGALITY; i.e., Waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both. He that gets all he can honestly and saves all he gets (necessary expenses excepted) will certainly become rich, if that Being who governs the world, to Whom all should look for a blessing on their honest endeavors, doth not in His wise Providence otherwise determine.

The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's 'own,' or 'real' life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life — the life God is sending one day by day: what one calls one's 'real life' is a phantom of one's own imagination. This at least is what I see at moments of insight: but it's hard to remember it all the time.

CS Lewis

I say unto you: Cherish your doubts,   For doubt is the handmaiden of truth. Doubt is the servant of discovery;   She is the key unto the door of knowledge. Let no man fear for the truth, that doubt     May consume her; Only he that would shut out his doubts     Denieth the truth.
