9. If you want to leave your foot prints
on the sands of time
Do not drag your feet.

10. God has not promised Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways All our life through;
God has not promised Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, Peace without pain.
But God has promised Strength for the day,
Rest for the labor Light for the way.

11. Let craft, ambition, Spite,
Be quenched in reason's night,
Till weakness turn to might,
Till what is dark be light,
Till what is wrong be right!

12. Don’t worry and fret, fainthearted,
The chances have just begun,
For the best jobs haven’t been started,
The best work hasn’t been done.

13. For all the days you prepare
And meet them ever alike
When you are the Anvil, Bear-
When you are the hammer, Strike.

14. The earth is his, to Him belong those vast
boundless skies;
Both seas within him rest, and yet in that
small pool he lies.
