Part of Leake collection

A small collection of quotations identified as follows:

"Real kindness means ...". The source of this quotation cannot be identified.

"Life, like war, is a series of mistakes; and he is not the best Christian nor the best general who makes the fewest false steps. Poor mediocrity may secure that; but he is the best who wins the most splendid victories by the retrieval of mistakes. Forget mistakes; organize victory out of mistakes.“ Frederick William Robertson, 1895 [Source: https://quotepark.com]

"There is no wealth but life. Life, including all its powers of love, of joy, and of admiration. That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest numbers of noble and happy human beings; that man is richest, who, having perfected the functions of his own life to the utmost, has also the widest helpful influence, both personal, and by means of his possessions, over the lives of others.“ John Ruskin, 1860. [Source: https://quotepark.com/quotes]

"Twelve things to remember" is derived from an essay written by Bessie A. Stanley of Lincoln, Kansas. Here is an article about her essay that was published in the Emporia Gazette of Emporia, Kansas on December 11, 1905 [Source: https://quoteinvestigator.com/]

"Not what we have, but what we use ..." is a quote from Joseph Fort Newton (1880 – 1950) [Source: https://www.preaching.com/articles/past-masters/joseph-fort-newton/]

Motto: "I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." Stephen Grellet 1773–1855 [Source: https://www.oxfordreference.com/]

This last quotation is headed Motto and reflects the life that Leake led.
