Synopsis

Strive And Thrive; Or, Stories For The Example And Encouragement Of The Young is a 19th-century collection of short moral tales designed to guide youth. The stories present compact narratives that model courage, honesty, perseverance, self-control, and kindness, emphasizing the value of duty to others and the pursuit of knowledge. Episodes include "Courage and Presence of Mind" (a rescue at an ice-covered pond), "The Boy Who Told the Truth" (choosing truth over concealment), "Try Again" (the power of persistence in learning and business), "Learn to Say No" (resisting temptation), "Little Charlie’s Will" (brotherly love and forgiveness), and "The Student and Apprentice" (a factory apprentice who becomes a distinguished lawyer). Together they advocate virtue through practical examples—bravery in danger, faithful honesty, steady study, and moral self-government. This work first appeared in 1875 in London and has been reprinted in modern editions.
