The Wanderlust has got me... by the belly-aching fire

Be sure your wisest words are those you do not say.

No man can be a failure if he thinks he's a success; If he thinks he is a winner, then he is.

The Wanderlust has got me... by the belly-aching fire

Write verse, not poetry. The public wants verse. If you have a talent for poetry, then don't by any means mother it, but try your hand at verse.

Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe.

Some praise the Lord for Light, The living spark; I thank God for the Night The healing dark.
