A happy New Year! Grant that I May bring no tear to any eye When this New Year in time shall end Let it be said I've played the friend, Have lived and loved and labored here, And made of it a happy year.

More quotes by Edgar Guest
I take the family shopping round. The markets of the world.
Edgar Guest
The things that haven't been done before, Are the tasks worthwhile today Are you one of the flock that follows, or Are you one that shall lead the way? Are you one of the timid souls that quail At the jeers of a doubting crew, Or dare you, whether you win or fail, Strike out for a goal that's new?
Edgar Guest
You'll be richer in the end than a prince, if you're a friend.
Edgar Guest
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, there are thousands to prophesy failure. There are thousands to point out to you, one by one, the dangers that await to assail you. But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, just take off your coat and go to it just start to sing as you tackle the thing that cannot be done, and you'll do it.
Edgar Guest
You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or toss it aside.
Edgar Guest

Edgar Guest
For to see good put in action is what everybody needs.

Edgar Guest
Stick to the fight whenyoure hardest hit
Edgar Guest
I want to be able, as days go by, always to look myself straight in the eye.
Edgar Guest
Somebody said that it couldn't be done But he with a chuckle replied That maybe it couldn't, but he would be one Who wouldn't say so till he tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Edgar Guest
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
Love has the patience to endure the fault it sees but cannot cure.
Edgar Guest
The best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds.
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
I take simple everyday things that happen to me and I figure it happens to a lot of other people and I make simple rhymes out of them.
Edgar Guest
Be a friend. You don't need glory. Friendship is a simple story.

Every thought and every act were to keep this home in tact.
