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.

More quotes by Edgar Guest
Every thought and every act were to keep this home in tact.
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
Stick to the fight whenyoure hardest hit
Edgar Guest
You'll be richer in the end than a prince, if you're a friend.
Edgar Guest
Columbus dreamed of an unknown shore at the rim of a far flung sky.
Edgar Guest
Fine counsel is confusing, but example is always clear
Edgar Guest
You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or toss it aside.
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 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
I take the family shopping round. The markets of the world.
Edgar Guest
Don't give up, what've you do eyes front, head high to the finish. See it through!
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 want to be able, as days go by, always to look myself straight in the eye.
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
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
I have to live with myself and so, I want to be fit for myself to know.
Edgar Guest
Tomorrow--there's no day so fair, It knows no sorrow A day that banishes despair, Joy rules tomorrow.
Edgar Guest
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.
Edgar Guest
Be a friend. You don't need glory. Friendship is a simple story.
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.
