It is hard to fail,
But it is worse never
To have tried to succeed.
- Theodore Roosevelt
Duty is the most sublime
Word in our language.
Do your duty in all things.
You cannot do more.
You should never wish
To do less.
- Robert E. Lee
Never allow anyone to rain
On your parade and thus cast
A pall of gloom and defeat on
The entire day.
Remember that no talent,
No self-denial, no brains,
No character, are required to
Set up in the fault-finding business.
Nothing external can have any
Power over you unless you permit it.
Your time is too precious to be
Sacrificed in wasted days combating
The menial forces of hate, jealously,
And envy.
Guard your fragile life carefully.
Only God can shape a flower,
But any foolish child can pull it to
Pieces.
- Og Mandino
