Brisbane, Arthur, 1864-1936

"Editorials from the Hearst Newspapers"


Honor thy father and THY MOTHER.
And honor the mothers of other men. Make their task easier
through fair payment of the men who support the children, through
good public schools for their children, through respectful
treatment of ALL women.
The mother is happy. For she knows "the deep joy of loving some
one else more than herself."
You honor yourself, and prove yourself worthy of a good mother
and of final success, when you do something for the mothers of
the world.


YOUR WORK IS YOUR BRAIN'S GYMNASIUM
For "buyers" in big stores,
For clerks in little stores,
For office boys,
For typewriters, reporters, car conductors, household domestics,
for all who are hired to work for others, this article is
intended.
There is no greater mistake than skimping your work--BECAUSE YOU
ARE WORKING FOR ANOTHER, AND FEAR YOU MAY DO TOO MUCH.
For your own sake remember that whatever you do in the way of
honest concentrated work you do FIRST OF ALL FOR YOURSELF.
Only one thing in the world can improve you and better your
condition, and that thing is your own effort.
You begin life with certain mental faculties, and with certain
muscular faculties. Their development or decay depends entirely
on yourself.
No work that you do is worthless.
