There Is No Medicine Like Hope.

There Is A Legend Of An Artist Who Long Sought For A Piece Of Sandalwood, Out Of Which To Carve A Madonna. He Was About To Give Up In Despair, Leaving The Vision Of His Life Unrealized, When In A Dream He Was Bidden To Carve His Madonna From A Block Of Oak Wood Which Was Destined For The Fire. He Obeyed And Produced A Masterpiece From A Log Of Common Firewood. Many Of Us Lose Great Opportunities In Life By Waiting To Find Sandalwood For Our Carvings, When They Really Lie Hidden In The Common Logs That We Burn.

Many Mothers Make The Mistake Of Forever Looking For The Bad In The Child, Trying To . . . Uproot And Drive It Out. This Is Like Trying To Eject The Darkness From A Room Without Opening The Shutters And Letting In The Light. As John Newton Said, 'i Cannot Sweep The Darkness Out, But I Can Shine It Out.'

Every Germ Of Goodness Will At Last Struggle Into Bloom And Fruitage...true Success Follows Every Right Step.

Make It A Life-rule To Give Your Best To Whatever Passes Through Your Hands. Stamp It With Your Manhood. Let Superiority Be Your Trademark.

Opportunity Is Coy, Is Swift, Is Gone, Before The Slow, The Unobservant, The Indolent, Or The Careless Can Seize Her.
