"THE MINER'S TEN COMMANDMENTS" # VII
Thou shalt not grow discouraged, nor think of going home before thou has made thy "pile," because thou hast not "struck a lead," nor found a "rich crevice," nor sunk a hole upon a "pocket," lest in going home thou shalt leave four dollars a day, and go to work, ashamed, at fifty cents, and serve thee right; for thou knowest by staying here, thou mightst strike a lead and fifty dollars a day and keep thy manly self-respect and then go home with enough to make thyself and others happy.
