I do not despise genius – indeed, I wish I had a basketful of it. But yet, after a great deal of experience and observation, I have become convinced that industry is a better horse to ride than genius. It may never carry any man as far as genius has carried individuals, but industry – patient, steady, intelligent industry – will carry thousands into comfort, and even celebrity; and this it does with absolute certainty.
