- Tomorrow--there's no day so fair,
															
- It knows no sorrow;
															
- A day that banishes despair,
															
- Joy rules tomorrow.
														
     
														
														
															- There's no disgrace in failing, lad,
															
- Though friends and foes deride;
															
- In fact, a failure's not so bad
															
- As never having tried.
														
     
														
														
															- The happy man is he who turns his soul
															
- Unto the light of joys that he can find;
															
- And pays each day its just demand of toll,
															
- But shuts the future troubles from his mind.

															- Determination is the thing
															
- On which you can depend.
															
- It plods along without a swing,
															
- But gets there in the end.
														
     
														
														Life is like a cocktail, made up for the most part of sweet things, and tinged with a dash of bitters. We must drain it to the dregs to get at the cherry, just as we must live a full and rounded life to know all its pleasures. 
														
														A fool and his money are soon parted, but it is remarkable how many fools have money to part from. 
														
														
															- Pride goes before a fall, they say,
															
- And yet we often find,
															
- The folks who throw all pride away
															
- Most often fall behind.
														
     
														
														
															- Ah, the mighty men who conquer,
															
- And the men whose words we drink,
															
- Are the men who quit the jangle,
															
- Quit the turmoil and the wrangle
															
- Of the world, and turn their faces
															
- To secluded, silent places,
															
- Where in solitude they think.
														
        
														
														All the world loves a lover, but how it does laugh at his love letters. 
														
														
															- Troubles loom up big when they're ahead,
															
- And joys seem always sweeter when they're past.
														
   
														
															EDGAR GUEST, "The Present" 
														 
														Many a man can make a success of everything but himself.
