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.

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
Be a friend. You don't need glory. Friendship is a simple story.
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
Oh, you'll not be any poorer if you smile along your way. And your lot will not be harder for the kindly things you say. Don't imagine you are wasting time for others that you spend. You can rise to wealth and glory and still pause to be a friend.

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
No one is beat till he quits, no one is through till he stops. No matter how hard failure hits, no matter how often he drops, a fellow's not down till he lies in the dust and refuses to rise.
Edgar Guest
I want to be able, as days go by, always to look myself straight in the eye.
Edgar Guest
You'll be richer in the end than a prince, if you're a friend.
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
