here I go,
Making glad and happy
Every one I know.

Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!
--STEVENSON

Do all the good you can,
In all the ways you can,
To all the people you can,
Just as long as you can.

When you come to think of it,
The day is what you make it;
And whether good, or whether bad,
Depends on how you take it.

Slumber, slumber, little one, now
The bird is asleep in his nest on the bough;
The bird is asleep, he has folded his wings,
And over him softly the dream fairy sings:

Lullaby, lullaby--lullaby!
Pearls in the deep--
Stars in the sky,
Dreams in our sleep;
So lullaby!
--F. D. SHERMAN

Dare to be true; nothing can need a lie.

The face you wear, the thoughts you bring,
A heart may heal or break.

He who is good at making excuses is seldom good
for anything else.--FRANKLIN

To _be_ good is the mother of to _do_ good.

I'll not willingly offend,
Nor be easily offended;
What's amiss I'll try to mend,
And endure what can't be mended.

A man of words and not of deeds,
Is like a garden full of weeds;
For when the weeds begin to grow,
Then doth the garden overflow.

Little children, you must seek
Rather to be good than wise,
For the thoughts you do not speak
Shine out in your cheeks and eyes.
--ALICE CARY

To tell a falsehood is like the cut of a sabre;
for though the wound may heal, the scar of it
will remain.--SADI

All that's great and good is done
Just by patient trying.

'Tis a lesson you should heed,
Try, try again;
If at first you don't succeed,
Try, try again.

If a task is once begun,
Never leave it till it's done;
Be the labour great or small,
Do it well, or not at all.

For every evil under the sun,
There is a remedy, or there is none.
If there be one, try to find it;
