Hard Work (3)
Industry doth beget ease by procuring good habits and facility of acting things expedient for us to do. By taking pains today, we shall need less pains tomorrow; and by continuing the exercise, within awhile we shall need no pains at all, but perform the most difficult tasks of duty or of benefit to us with perfect ease—yea, commonly with great pleasure. What sluggish people account hard and irksome (as to rise early, to hold close to study or business, to bear some hardship) will be natural and sweet, as proceeding from another nature raised in us by use. Industry doth breed assurance and courage, needful for the undertaking and prosecution of all necessary business or for the performance of all duties incumbent on us.Of Industry in General
One asking what was the best compost to manure land, it was answered, the dust of the master's feet.
