Quote

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.

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.

Image
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.

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.

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.

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.
