At every crossroads on the path that leads to the future, tradition has placed 10,000 men to guard the past.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Who is to say that 5 men 10 years ago were right whereas 5 men looking the other direction today are wrong.
There are certain moments when we might wish the future were built by men of the past.
Tradition means taking account of a wonderful history but remembering that everybody today looks to the future.
Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds.
There will always be men struggling to change, and there will always be those who are controlled by the past.
Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay.
Tradition is the illusion of permanance.
Many men hoard for the future husbands of their wives.
They spend their time looking forward to the past.
There are one hundred men seeking security to one able man who is willing to risk his fortune.
