Give me the end of the year an' its fun When most of the plannin' an' toilin' is done Bring all the wanderers home to the nest, Let me sit down with the ones I love best, Hear the old voices still ringin' with song, See the old faces unblemished by wrong, See the old table with all of its chairs An' I'll put soul in my Thanksgivin' prayers.
More Quotes from Edgar Albert Guest:
Be grateful for the kindly friends that walk along your way Be grateful for the skies of blue that smile from day to day Be grateful for the health you own, the work you find to do, For round about you there are men less fortunate than you. Be grateful for the growing trees, the roses soon to bloom, The tenderness of kindly hearts that shared your days of gloom Be grateful for the morning dew, the grass beneath your feet, The soft caresses of your babes and all their laughter sweet. Acquire the grateful habit, learn to see how blest you are, How much there is to gladden life, how little life to mar And what if rain shall fall today and you with grief are sad Be grateful that you can recall the joys that you have had.Edgar Albert Guest
Be a friend. You dont need money Just a disposition sunny Just the wish to help another Get along some way or other Just a kindly had extended Out to one whos unbefriended Just the will to give or lend, This will make you someones friend. Be a friend. You dont need glory. Friendship is a simple story. Pass by trifling errors blindly, Gaze on honest effort kindly, Cheer the youth whos bravely trying, Pity him whos sadly sighing Just a little labor spend On the duties of a friend. Be a friend. The pay is bigger (Though not written by a figure) Tan is earned by people clever In whats merely self-endeavor. Youll have friends instead of neighbors For the profits of your labors Youll be richer in the end Than a prince, if youre a friend.

Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes, And a brain to use if you would be wise. With this equipment they all began, So start for the top and say, 'I can.' You are the handicap you must face, You are the one who must choose your place, You must say where you want to go, How much you will study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, but He Lets you decide what you want to be... Courage must come from the soul within, The man must furnish the will to win. So figure it out for yourself, my lad, You were born with all that the great have had, With your equipment they all began. Get hold of yourself, and say 'I can'.

THE THINGS THAT HAVENT BEEN DONE BEFORE The things that havent been done before, Those are the things to try Columbus dreamed of an unknown shore At the rim of the far-flung sky, And his heart was bold and his faith was strong As he ventured in dangers new, And he paid no heed to the jeering throng Or the fears of the doubting crew. The things that havent been done before, Are the tasks worthwhile today Are you one of the flock that follows, or Are you one that shall lead the way Are you one of the timid souls that quail At the jeers of a doubting crew, Or dare you, whether you win or fail, Strike out for a goal thats new.

I taught a lot of art history, especially Chinese, Japanese, and Indian. But the painting classes came back. The nudes came back. Not so much the still lifes. So now our department is the worst department, partly because it has the worst facilities.
