The Best He Can
Poet: Unknown
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.

Be The Best of Whatever You Are
Poet: Douglas Malloch
If you can't be a pine on top of the hill
Be a scrub in the valley - but be
The best little scrub at the side of the rill.
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a bush be a bit of grass
Some highway to happier make.
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass,
But the liveliest bass in the lake.
We can't all be captains, we've got to have crew,
There's something for all of us here.
There's big work to do and there's lesser work too
And the task we must do is near.
If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail.
If you can't be the sun be a star.
It isn't by size that you win or you fail.
Be the best of whatever you are.

Imagination and Enthusiasm
Poet: W. C. Thurston
Take imagination and enthusiasm,
And hitch the two together,
Then fix your gaze on the farthest star
And forget about the weather.
Take a pound of pluck and energy a
And mix with an ounce of thrift,
Then forward-march to the heights ahead,
And don’t be begging a lift.
Pick out the hill you want to climb
And fix your gaze on the peak,
Then blaze your way to the very top,
The bottom is reserved for the weak.
Imagination and enthusiasm;
Mark you! this matchless team,
Is yours to harness and drive to the goal,
Of all your heart has dreamed.
Imagination and enthusiasm;
Oh man! if you are wise,
You’ll give ’em the rein,
Then fix your gaze
On the brightest star in the skies

Do Right
Poet: Unknown
I love to do right,
And I love the truth;
And I'll always love them,
While in my youth.
And when I grow old,
And when I grow gray,
I will love them still,
Depart who may.

Hold Up Your Head
Poet: Wilhelmina Stitch
You were not made for failure but success;
Not born for sorrow but for happiness.
Keep this in mind through all life's storms and stress.
Hold up your head.
You were not born a slave but free as air,
In all the beauty of the world you share,
Now banish fear and brush away dull care.
Hold up your head.
The heroes of the world are true kin.
You, too, have greatness buried deep within.
Give it a chance; no fight too hard to win.
Hold up your head.
Remember this great world has need of you,
Has need of all the work that you can do;
And of your visions and your ideals too.
Hold up your head.
Hark to the drums of life! They throb and roll;
Inspire with courage the responsive soul.
March on, you're bound to reach your goal.
Hold up your head.

Just Remember
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2020
Don't compare yourself to others
Don't wish that you were your brother.
Don't be jealous of others success,
Just remember to do your best.
You are given gifts to use
You have to decide, you have to choose
Do make your life a contest,
Just remember to do your best.
Set your goals and take the action
Set them according to your passion.
As you move step by step,
Just remember to do your best.
When you look back at the years that have passed
You will be amazed how time is so fast
You will realize you passed life's test
As you lived your life by doing your best!

Determination
By Ethel L. Preble
Determination! Thou fore-runner of Success;
Thou life-breath of all great desire;
Thou art a power that few possess:
Thou art the spark which makes the fire!
The tenacious beach-grass, thou,
Which binds the shifting sands of idle thought,
And, — with that force which makes men bow —
Lo! In them a miracle is wrought!
-
Doing And Being
Poet: William Davies
Think not alone to do right, and fulfill
Life's due perfection by the simple worth
Of lawful actions called by justice forth,
And thus condone a world confused with ill!
But fix the high condition of thy will
To be right, that its good's spontaneous birth
May spread like flowers springing from the earth
On which the natural dews of heaven distill;
For these require no honors, take no care
For gratitude from men--but more are blessed
In the sweet ignorance that they are fair;
And through their proper functions live and rest,
Breathing their fragrance out with joyous air,
Content with praise of bettering what is best.
