Luck and Labor

LUCK is ever waiting for something to turn up. Labor, with keen eyes and strong will, will turn something up. Luck lies in bed and wishes the post-man would bring him news of a legacy. Labor turns out at six o'clock, and with busy pen or ringing hammer, lays the foundation of a competence. Luck whines. Labor whistles. Luck relies on chances; labor, on character. Luck slips downward to indolence. Labor strides upward to independence.
