Somebody did a golden deed;
Somebody proved a friend in need;
Somebody sang a beautiful song;
Somebody served the whole day long.
Was that "somebody" you?
Courtesy is to do and say
The kindest thing in the kindest way.
Truth is honest, truth is sure;
Truth is strong and must endure.
Bailey
Hang on! Cling on! No matter what they say.
Push on! Sing on! Things will come your way.
Sitting down and whining never helps a bit;
Best way to get there is by keeping up your grit.
Louis E. Thayer
The day returns and brings us the petty round of irritating concerns and duties. Help us to play the man, help us to perform them with laughter and kind faces, let cheerfulness abound with industry. Give us to go blithely on our business all this day, bring us to our resting beds weary and content and undishonored, and grant us in the end the gift of sleep.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Be strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to drift.
We have hard work to do and loads to lift.
Shun not the struggle; face it; 'tis God's gift.
