For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
-II Corinthians 4:17.

Hard things are put in our way, not to stop us, but to call out our courage and strength.
Life is a leaf of paper white,
Whereon each one of us may write.
His word or two, and then comes night.
Greatly begin! though thou have time
But for a line, be that sublime -
Not failure, but low aim, is crime.
-Lowell.
Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
-H.W. Longfellow.
Live of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Seeing, shall take heart again.
MYSELF
Edgar Guest
I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know;
I want to be able as days go by
Always to look myself in the eye;
I don’t want to stand with the setting sun
And hate myself for the things I’ve done.
I can never hide myself from me -
I see what others may never see;
I know what others may never know;
I never can fool myself, and so
Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience-free.
