Quotation of the Day for February 24, 2011



"Hold fast, this is most necessary in America. Forget your past, your customs, and your ideals. Select a goal and pursue it with all your might. No matter what happens to you, hold on. You will experience a bad time, but sooner or later you will achieve your goal."

- United States Immigrants Manual, 1891. Quoted in The American Past: A Survey of American History by Joseph R. Conlin.
