"If you were busy being good,
And doing just the best you could,
You'd not have time to blame some man
Who's doing just the best he can.
"If you were busy being true
To what you know you ought to do,
You'd be so busy you'd forget
The blunders of the folks you've met.
"If you were busy being right,
You'd find yourself too busy quite
To criticize your neighbor long
Because he's busy being wrong."

"What is that?" she asked.
"That there are a great many boys in the world."
"Didn't you know that before?"
"Partly; but I didn't know there were so many more boys than are wanted."
