Be strong we are not here to play, to dream, to drift, we have hard work to do and loads to lift, shun not the struggle, face it, tis gods gift. Be strong say not the days are evil whos to blame And fold your hands and acquiesce o shame Stand up, speak out, and bravely in gods name. Be strong It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong. How hard the battle goes, the day, how long Faint not, fight on Tomorrow comes the song.
More Quotes from Maltbie Davenport Babcock:
One of the commonest mistakes and one of the costliest is thinking that success is due to some genius, some magic something or other which we do not possess. Success is generally due to holding on, and failure to letting go. You decide to learn a language, study music, take a course of reading, train yourself physically. Will it be success or failure It depends upon how much pluck and perseverance that word 'decide' contains. The decision that nothing can overrule, the grip that nothing can detach will bring success. Remember the Chinese proverb, 'With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes satin.Maltbie Davenport Babcock

This is my Father's world, And to my list'ning ears, All nature sings, And round me rings The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world, I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas - His hand the wonders wrought. This is my Father's world, The birds their carols raise, The morning light, The lily white, Declare their Maker's praise. This is my Father's world, He shines in all that's fair In the rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me ev'rywhere. This is my Father's world, O let me ne'er forget That though the wrong Seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. This my Father's world, Why should my heart be sad The Lord is King - Let the heavens ring God reigns let the earth be glad. Amen.

Good habits are not made on birthdays, nor Christian character at the new year. The workshop of character is everyday life. The uneventful and commonplace hour is where the battle is lost or won.
