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.

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
