More quotes by 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
Let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder to the faults of those around me.
Edgar Guest
Every thought and every act were to keep this home in tact.
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
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
You'll be richer in the end than a prince, if you're a friend.
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
I want to be able, as days go by, always to look myself straight in the eye.
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
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
Don't give up, what've you do eyes front, head high to the finish. See it through!
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 the family shopping round. The markets of the world.
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
Fine counsel is confusing, but example is always clear
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
Columbus dreamed of an unknown shore at the rim of a far flung sky.
Edgar Guest
The best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds.
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?
