The world is no longer closed to us in the way it was in the past - present generations have unparalleled access to pretty much all corners of the globe.
Edgar Guest
You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or toss it aside.
Edgar Guest
So long as men shall be on earth, there will be tasks for them to do. Some way for them to show their worth. Each day shall bring its problems new. And men shall dream of mightier deeds than ever have been done before. There always shall be human needs for men to work and struggle for.
Edgar Guest
Every thought and every act were to keep this home in tact.
Edgar Guest
Away from the tumult of motor and mill I want to be care-free I want to be still! I'm weary of doing things weary of words I want to be one with the blossoms and birds.
Edgar Guest
I take the family shopping round. The markets of the world.
Edgar Guest
Fine counsel is confusing, but example is always clear
Edgar Guest
You ought to be true for the sake of the folks who think you are true. You never should stoop to a deed that your folks think you would not do. If you are false to yourself, be the blemish but small, you have injured your folks you have been false to them all.
Edgar Guest
Let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder to the faults of those around me.
Edgar Guest
Now seeds are just dimes to the man in the store And the dimes are the things that he needs, And I've been to buy them in seasons before But have thought of them merely as seeds But it flashed through my mind as I took them this time, You purchased a miracle here for a dime.
Edgar Guest
The things are mighty few on earth that wishes can attain. Whate'er we want of any worth, we've got to work to gain.
Edgar Guest
But here in the struggle for fame and pelf I want to be able to like myself. I don't want to look at myself and know That I'm bluster and buff and empty show.
Edgar Guest
Lord, this humble house we'd keep Sweet with play and calm with sleep. Help us so that we may give Beauty to the lives we live. Let Thy love and let Thy grace Shine upon our dwelling place.
Edgar Guest
Don't give up, what've you do eyes front, head high to the finish. See it through!
Edgar Guest
I want to be able, as days go by, always to look myself straight in the eye.
Edgar Guest
I'll obey them in the winter when the doctors say to me I must give up ham and spinach, and obedient I'll be. To relieve my indigestion in December they can try, But there's none of them can stop me when it's time for cherry pie.
Edgar Guest
The timid and fearful first failures dismay, but the stout heart stays trying by night and by day. He values his failures as lessons that teach The one way to get to the goal he would reach.
Edgar Guest
It takes a heap o' livin' in a house t' make it home
Edgar Guest
Somebody scoffed, Oh, you'll never to that - At least no one ever has done it But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, And the first thing we knew, he'd begun it.
Edgar Guest
Love has the patience to endure the fault it sees but cannot cure.
