Notwithstanding the greatness and the handsomeness of your compliment to night, I do not believe there is one in ten of you that is going to make a million of dollars because you are here to night; but it is not my fault, it is yours. I say that sincerely.

I spoke thus to an audience in New Britain, Connecticut, and a lady four seats back went home and tried to take off her collar, and the collar-button stuck in the buttonhole. She threw it out and said, “I am going to get up something better than that to put on collars.” Her husband said: “After what Conwell said to-night, you see there is a need of an improved collar-fastener that is easier to handle. There is a human need; there is a great fortune. Now, then, get up a collar-button and get rich.” He made fun of her, and consequently made fun of me, and that is one of the saddest things which comes over me like a deep cloud of midnight sometimes--although I have worked so hard for more than half a century, yet how little I have ever really done.  CHILDREN WOULD LIKE IN THEIR HOMES TOO TO JUDGE THE HUMAN HEART BY ONE'S SELF BY ONE'S WIFE OR ONE'S CHILDREN IT IS THE ROYAL ROAD TO SUCCESS IN MANUFACTURING OH BUT YOU SAY HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY CAPITAL YES A PENKNIFE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE HAD PAID FOR IT I SPOKE THUS TO AN AUDIENCE IN NEW BRETON CONNECTICUT AND THE LADY FOUR SEAT BACK WENT HOME AND TRIED TO TAKE OFF HER COLLAR AND THE COLLAR BUTTON STUCK IN THE BUTTON HOLE SHE THREW IT OUT AND SAID I'M GOING TO GET UP SOMETHING BETTER THAN THAT TO PUT ON COLLARS HER HUSBAND SAID BUT AFTER WHAT CONWELL SAID TO NIGHT YOU SEE THERE IS A NEED FOR AN IMPROVED COLLAR FASTENER THAT IS EASIER TO HANDLE THERE IS A HUMAN NEED THERE IS A GREAT FORTUNE NOW THEN GET UP A COLLAR BUTTON AND GET RICH HE MADE FUN OF HER AND CONSEQUENTLY MADE FUN OF ME AND THAT IS ONE OF THE SADDEST THINGS WHICH EVER COMES OVER ME LIKE A DEEP CLOUD OF MIDNIGHT SOMETIMES ALTHOUGH I HAVE WORKED SO HARD FOR MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY YET HOW LITTLE I HAVE EVER REALLY DONE
