Excerpt from Economy: The Self-Denying Depositor and Prudent Paymaster at the Bank of ThriftThis is an extreme case, but it is typical of the early frugality of thousands who have risen from poverty and ignorance to fame and fortune. Indeed, so common have youthful struggles with hardship been in America that an English tourist named birth in a log cabin and pinch ing poverty as necessary preparatives for future great ness here. Of course we all know that our country has passed the log-cabin stage in its development, but it still holds true, and always will, that a boy who is willing to deny himself in order to improve himself will rise in the world. He may not, like Moran, become a successful exhibitor in the galleries of London and Paris, associate of the National Academy, and member of the American Water Color Society and of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts but, in his own sphere and in his own way, he is sure to grow into a larger life because of his sacrifices.I will give five pounds toward the expenses of the city mission, said a Scotchman, without solicitation, to a clergyman whom he met on the street.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Joys of Living: Achieving Happiness Through Friendship, Right Thinking and the Little Things of Everyday Life (Hardcover)

lulu.com

The Joys of Living is a classic self-help book which suggests many ways the reader can better appreciate life and acquire lasting happiness in day-to-day living. Marden points to various aspects of living which can confer a sense of meaning and happiness, from the friendships and connections we hold with others to the small pleasures we can experience by exercising our imaginations and being contented with a modest lot. Such thought processes lead to lasting satisfaction and happiness, and can dispel the restlessness native to the unhappy soul. The author also encourages a healthy work-life balance, noting that a person can find meaning if their work is purposeful or worthy of pride. The sense that recreation is earned, and the feeling of contribution to the world, are pointed out as attributes of joy. Marden puts forth the case that happiness and usefulness go hand-in-hand, and that taking effort to find joy in one's daily work is paramount to lasting joy.
