the judgement day comes, God will find six crumbs. Stooping by the coffin

"Might, I'm called. I've done no wrong." Cried the third crumb,
"I am Should. Here's our little brother Could and my big sister
Would. Don't punish us for we've been good." And the last crumb, with

no dread. Lift the sheet back in this way.

while others have idled, have perservered while others gave up in despair,
and have practiced early in life the valuable habits of self-denial,
industry, and singleness of purpose. As a result, they enjoy in later life
the success often erroneously attributed to good luck.

Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but
your dream will not. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not
obscure it. Because the dream is within you, no one can take it away.
