The dark today leads into light tomorrow. There is no endless joy, and yet no endless sorrow.

Distrust that man who tells you to distrust. He takes the measure of his own small soul, and thinks the world no larger.

Just a little every day That's the way Children learn to read and write Bit by bit and mite by mite.

Give her not greatness. For great souls must stand Alone and lonely in this little world: Cleft rocks that show the great Creator's hand, Thither by earthquakes hurled.

Lean on thyself until thy strength is tried; Then ask God's help; it will not be denied. Use thine own sight to see the way to go; When darkness falls ask God the path to show. Think for thyself and reason out thy plan; God has His work and thou hast thine. Exert thy will and use for self-control; God gave thee jurisdiction of thy soul. All thine immortal powers bring into play; Think, act, strive, reason, and look up and pray.

'Tis easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows along like a song; But the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong.

No path is wholly rough.
