Post Written By Eugene Morgan Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work. — Horace Just because we work hard today, doesn’t mean we stop working hard. Working hard one time is not final.

Life Is Something To Do

Post Written By Eugene Morgan We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life. — William Osler We’re better off when we add what we can to life.
