Inspirational Words of Wisdom

 

 

QUOTE of the WEEK:

There are countless ways of attaining greatness,

but any road to reaching one's maximum potential

must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual,

a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity.

Buck Rodgers

 

POEM for YOUR WEEK:

Myself

by Edgar A. Guest

 

I have to live with myself and so

I want to be fit for myself to know.

I want to be able as days go by,

always to look myself straight in the eye;

I don't want to stand with the setting sun

and hate myself for the things I have done.

I don't want to keep on a closet shelf

a lot of secrets about myself

and fool myself as I come and go

into thinking no one else will ever know

the kind of person I really am,

I don't want to dress up myself in sham.

I want to go out with my head erect

I want to deserve all men's respect;

but here in the struggle for fame and wealth

I want to be able to like myself.

I don't want to look at myself and know that

I am bluster and bluff and empty show.

I never can hide myself from me;

I see what others may never see;

I know what others may never know,

I never can fool myself and so,

whatever happens I want to be

self respecting and conscience free.

QUOTES for YOUR WEEK:

Greatness after all, ion spite of its name, appears to be not so much a certain size as a certain quality in human lives. It may be present in lives whose range is very small.

Phillips Brooks

 

Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.

Blaise Pascal

 

 

If we are to be really great people, we must strive in good faith to play a great part in the world. We cannot avoid meeting great issues. All that we can determine for ourselves is whether we shall meet them well or ill.

Theodore Roosevelt

 

Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength.

Henry Ward Beecher

 

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble.
