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.

More quotes by Edgar Guest
I have to live with myself and so, I want to be fit for myself to know.
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
He started to sing as he tackled the thing. That couldn't be done, and he did it.
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
For to see good put in action is what everybody needs.
Edgar Guest

Edgar Guest
Columbus dreamed of an unknown shore at the rim of a far flung sky.
Edgar Guest
Let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder to the faults of those around me.
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
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
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
Don't give up, what've you do eyes front, head high to the finish. See it through!
Edgar Guest
Love has the patience to endure the fault it sees but cannot cure.
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
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 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 want to be able, as days go by, always to look myself straight in the eye.
Edgar Guest
