“Luck is always waiting for something to turn up. Labor, with keen eyes and strong will, always turns up something. Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman will bring news of a legacy.

Luck relies on chance, labor on character.” CharacterEyeLyingTurnsStrongWishWaitingWorkChanceBedSixNewsLaborLuckFoundationLaysBusyLegacyClockRelyPensHammersCompetenceStrong WillPostmanWaiting For SomethingAlways Waiting Author:Richard Cobden
