It is not always the doing well

That measures the fame of a man;
The hero is he, who the world can see
Is doing the best he can.

BEAUTY

MAKE yourselves nests of pleasant thoughts! None of us yet know, for none of us have been taught in early youth, what fairy palaces we may build of beautiful thoughts, proof against all adversity; bright fancies, satisfied memories, noble histories, faithful sayings, treasure-houses of precious and restful thoughts, which care cannot disturb, nor pain make gloomy, nor poverty take away from us; houses built without hands, for our souls to live in.

RUSKIN.

you

THOUGH YOU travel the world over to find the beautiful, unless you carry it with you, you find it not.

EMERSON.

THE true order of going is to use the beauties of earth as steps along which to mount upwards for the sake of that other beauty.

PLATO.

BEAUTY is lasting only to those who have planted it

in their hearts.

To feel beauty is a better thing than to understand how we come to feel it.

NEVER lose an opportunity to see anything beautiful. Beauty is God's handwriting.

KINGSLEY.

IF you get simple beauty and naught else, you get about the best thing God invents; that's somewhat; and you'll find the soul you have missed within yourself, when you return Him thanks.

BROWNING.

FOR every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it; for every truth there is an ear somewhere to heed it; for every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it. But though my beauty meets no eye it still doth glow; though my truth meets no ear it still doth shine. But when my love meets no heart it can only break.

WOULDST shape a noble life? Then cast
No backward glance toward the past,
And though somewhat be lost and gone,
Yet do thou act as one new born;

What each day needs, that shalt thou ask,
Each day will set its proper task.

GOETHE.

TODAY AND TOMORROW

TODAY

Unsullied comes to thee, new-born;
Tomorrow is not thine.

The sun may cease to shine

For thee ere earth shall greet its morn.
Be earnest then, in thought and deed,
Nor fear approaching night;

Calm comes with evening light,

And hope and peace. Thy duty heed
Today.

JOHN RUSKIN.

TOMORROW has a rare alluring sound;
Today is very prose; and yet the twain
Are but one vision seen thro' altered eyes.
Our dreams inhabit one: our stress and pain
Surge thro' the other. Heaven is but today
Made lovely with tomorrow's face for aye.

RICHARD BURTON.

Ir fortune, with a smiling face,

Strew roses on your way,

When shall we stoop to pick them up?

Today, my friend, today!

But should she frown with face of care,

And talk of coming sorrow,

When shall we grieve if grieve we must?
Tomorrow, friend, tomorrow!

THANK the Lord,

If today has sorrow
We can live in hope

Of a bright tomorrow!

And still find peace

When the storm is hummin',

An' sweet release

In the good time comin'!

ATLANTA "CONSTITUTION."

FINISH every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

EMERSON.

I BELIEVE that today is better than yesterday, and that tomorrow will be better than today.

GEORGE F. HOAR.

THERE are two days about which nobody should ever worry, and these are yesterday and tomorrow.

OUR todays make our tomorrows.

R. J. BURDETTE.

SAVAGE.

WHAT WAS HIS CREED?

He left a load of anthracite

In front of a poor woman's door, When the deep snow, frozen and white,

Wrapped street and square, mountain and moor.

That was his deed,

He did it well;

What was his creed?

I cannot tell.

He had great faith in loaves of bread
For hungry people, young and old,
And hope inspired, kind words he said
To those he sheltered from the cold.
For we must feed

As well as pray.
What was his creed?

I cannot say.

He put his trust in Heaven, and he
Worked well with hand and head;
And what he gave in charity

Sweetened his sleep and daily bread.

Let us take heed

For life is brief.

This was his creed,

This his belief.
