When We Are Flat On Our Backs

The God We Worship Writes His Name Upon Our Faces.

Do Not Let Yourselves Be Discouraged Or Embittered By The Smallness Of The Success You Are Likely To Achieve In Trying To Make Life Better. You Certainly Would Not Be Able, In A Single Generation, To Create An Earthly Paradise. Who Could Expect That? But, If You Make Life Ever So Little Better, You Will Have Done Splendidly, And Your Lives Will Have Been Worthwhile. Property May Be Destroyed And Money May Lose Its Purchasing Power; But, Character, Health, Knowledge And Good Judgement Will Always Be In Demand Under All Conditions.

Experience Has Taught Me That There Is One Chief Reason Why Some People Succeed And Others Fail. The Difference Is Not One Of Knowing, But Of Doing.

Thus Far, I Have Not Heard Of A Single One.
