I have to live with myself and so, I want to be fit for myself to know.
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

The lectures you deliver may be wise and true, But I'd rather get my lessons by observing what you do. I may not understand the high advise you like to give, But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.
Edgar Guest
Let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder to the faults of those around me.
Edgar Guest
For to see good put in action is what everybody needs.
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
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
I take the family shopping round. The markets of the world.
Edgar Guest
You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or toss it aside.
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.
