The Victor
by: C. W. Longenecker
If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don’t. If you like to win but think you can’t, It’s almost a cinch you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost. For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow’s will. It’s all in the state of mind. If you think you are out classed, you are. You’ve got to think high to rise. You’ve got to be sure of your-self before You can ever win the prize. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later, the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can.
Oh What a Happy Child I am
by Fanny Crosby
Oh, what a happy child I am, Although I cannot see! I am resolved that in this world Contented I will be! How many blessings I enjoy That other people don’t! To weep or sigh because I’m blind, I cannot and I won’t.
You tell on yourself
Anonymous
You tell on yourself by the friends you seek By the manner in which you speak By the way you employ your leisure time By the way you make use of your dollar and dime. You tell what you are by the clothes you wear By the spirit in which your burdens you bear By the kinds of things at which you laugh By the records you play on your phonograph You show what you are by the way you walk By the subjects of which you like to talk By the manner in which you bear defeat By the foods you choose and the way you eat. By the books you select from the library shelf. In these ways and others you tell on yourself.
Don’t Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit. Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns. And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out: Don’t give up though the pace seems slow – You may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out – The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far: So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
