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.

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.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.

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.

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.

Namely, we have no right to believe a thing true because everybody says so unless there are good grounds for believing that some one person at least has the means of knowing what is true, and is speaking the truth so far as he knows it.
William Kingdon Clifford
