Samuel Smiles：Thrift, Excerpt 39

"The secret of all success is to know how to deny yourself.... If you once learn to get the whip-hand of yourself, that is the best educator. Prove to me that you can control yourself, and I'll say you're an educated man; and without this, all other education is good for next to nothing."--_Mrs. Oliphant_.
