More quotes by 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
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
Be a friend. You don't need glory. Friendship is a simple story.
Edgar Guest
Tomorrow--there's no day so fair, It knows no sorrow A day that banishes despair, Joy rules tomorrow.
Edgar Guest
It takes a heap o' livin' in a house t' make it home
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
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.
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
You'll be richer in the end than a prince, if you're a friend.
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
I take the family shopping round. The markets of the world.
Edgar Guest
I want to be able, as days go by, always to look myself straight in the eye.
Edgar Guest
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.
Edgar Guest
I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way.
Edgar Guest
There's no diet list I'll follow that would rule out cherry pie.
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
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
Don't give up, what've you do eyes front, head high to the finish. See it through!
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.
