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'.
More Quotes from Edgar Albert Guest:
Who does his task from day to day and meets whatever comes his way, Believing God has willed it so, has found real greatness here below. Who guards his post, no matter where, believing God must need him there, Although but lowly toil it be, has risen to nobility. For great and low theres just one test, tis that each man shall do his best, Who works with all the strength he can, shall never die in debt to man.Edgar Albert Guest
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.

Now seeds are just dimes to the man in the store And the dimes are the things that he needs, And I've been to buy them in seasons before But have thought of them merely as seeds But it flashed through my mind as I took them this time, 'You purchased a miracle here for a dime.'

It matters not what goal you seek Its secret here reposes You've got to dig from week to week To get Results or Roses.

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.
