The significant inscription found on an old key---“If I rest, I rust”---would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness. Even the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.

Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture---every department of human endeavor.
Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.
Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.
这个很重要的题字是在一把很古老的钥匙上面找到的---“如果我休息了，会生锈的”。这对于那些少数的烦恼于做事相当懒散的人而言是一个非常棒的座右铭。很多非常勤奋的人可能会采用它来提醒自己进步。如果一个人允许他的才能去休息的话，就好像一把不可用的钥匙，很快会有生锈的征兆，最后，做不到他们本可以做的工作。
有些人达到了一定的高度，可是如果他们想接近或者保持做一个伟大的人，他们必须要时常的使用自己精炼的才能，这样才不会让自己知识的大门紧锁，这个大门保卫着通往很多职业的入口，科学，艺术，文学，农业，人们为之努力的每一个领域。
勤奋可以使打开“成就”这个宝库的钥匙保持雪亮， 假如Hugh Miller在结束采石场一整天辛苦的工作以后，把晚上的时间用来休息或娱乐，他永远也不会成为一个著名的地质学家。有名的数学家Edmund Stone，也永远不可能出版数学字典，也永远不会找到数学这门科学的钥匙。如果苏格兰的小青年Ferguson把他的闲暇时间用来无所事事，当他在山腰上看管羊群的时候允许他忙碌的头脑去休息而不是用一串串的珠子去计算星星的位置，他也永远不会成为一个著名的天文学家。
英国工党征服了一切，不是易变的，间断的，错方向的努力，而是可靠的，持续的，对于一个正确的目标不断的尝试，自主权的价值所在就是像永久的失眠一样真实，所以，坚持不懈的勤奋就是高贵的不朽成就的价值所在。
