Use well the present day,
Clear purpose and resolve
Will always find a way.

Be brave!
High courage knows no fear.
The good you do right now
Brings conquest ever near.

Be true!
Don’t swerve or idly shirk.
Life’s prizes are conferred
On men who nobly work.

Be strong!
There’s something great to do.
Have faith and really know
That God will see you through.
-Grenville Kleiser.

A mere desire is lukewarm water, which never will take a train to its destination; the purpose must boil, must be made into live steam to do the work. Who would ever have heard of Theodore Roosevelt outside of his immediate community if he had only half committed himself to what he had undertaken, if he had brought only a part of himself to his task? The great secret of his career has been that he has flung his whole life, not a part of it, with all the determination and energy and power he could muster, into everything he has undertaken. No dillydallying, no faint-hearted efforts, no lukewarm purpose for him.
-O.S. Marden.
