Essays on Work and Life (Classic Reprint) ~ Paperback ~ Arthur B Cooke

Excerpt from Essays on Work and Life The wise traveler, setting out through an undiscovered country, will not depend for the direction of his course upon the hazard of the way. He will first acquaint himself with those points which are accepted as fixed and unchangeable, the cardinal points of direction. Then, with compass in hand, he may safely enter the trackless wilderness, for his way is directed by those steadfast guides which preside alike over the traveled and the untraveled expanse. But compass and guiding stars alone are not sufficient to insure a happy outcome of the journey. Preparation and provision are essential that the traveler may be sustained and strengthened upon the way. He cannot ignore the service of those upon whom he is turning his back. And even with the most careful preparation the end is not assured. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
