“Calling Over the Coals.”
Our forefather” had a custom of
requiring a guilty person to endure
the ordeal of the burning plowshare,
or hot embers.,and from this Is sprung
our modern phrase, “to call over the
cools.” meaning to reprimand severely.
.If you never put your foot upon the first round of
a ladder, you will never get to the top.
Deciding to start is easy; actually starting is more
difficult; but after you have started the way grows
easier as you progress, for success begets confidence,
and confidence, widens and broadens you.
Let your first bank deposit be ever so small, hav
ing started you will desire to make each succeeding
deposit a little larger—and there is no limit.
John D. Rockefeller’s first bank deposit was per
haps smaller than the one you can afford to make to
day.
