"Those who traveled before us along the same roads have left footprints as they struggled, fell down, hoped, despaired or persevered. This ought to be of value to us as we journey in our confidence of being able to reach the goal we have in view.

"The biographies, examples and cherished rules that influenced the lives of our fathers are great helps for all of us."
