Think of your dear little one at home. He cannot yet read a letter in a book; he knows nothing of the things that his elder brother studies; but he knows his father.

He must go to the barracks, and the camp, and the field of battle if he is to win victories and become…

In every work we undertake, it is most important that we should act on right principles. If we are misled upon essential points, our efforts will be wasted, since success cannot possibly be the result. A man may study the stars as long as he pleases, but he certainly will not come to right conclusions…
