I hope this notice, once for all, will be enough, and that in future you will give no cause for complaint.”
— from History of Frederick the Second, Called Frederick the Great. by John S. C. (John Stevens Cabot) Abbott
Do your best because it is the will of God you should improve every faculty to the utmost now, and strengthen the powers of your mind by exercise, and then in future you will be better enabled to glorify God with all your powers and talents, be they of a more humble, or higher order, and you shall not fail to be received into everlasting habitations, with the applauding voice of your Saviour, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
— from Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay. Volume 1 by George Otto Trevelyan
