“So long as men shall be on earth, there will be tasks for them to do. Some way for them to show their worth. Each day shall bring its problems new. And men shall dream of mightier deeds than ever have been done before. There always shall be human needs for men to work and struggle for.” MenWayNeedsHumansLongHas BeensDoneShowsProblemDreamEarthStruggleTasksDeedsEach DayHuman Needs Author:Edgar Guest
“There's nothing that builds up a toil-weary soul Like a day on a stream, Back on the banks of the old fishing hole Where a fellow can dream. There's nothing so good for a man as to flee From the city and lie Full length in the shade of a whispering tree And gaze at the sky. . . . . It is good for the world that men hunger to go To the banks of a stream, And weary of sham and of pomp and of show They have somewhere to dream. For this life would be dreary and sordid and base Did they not now and then Seek refreshment and calm in God's wide, open space And come back to be men.” MenWorldSoulShowsDreamWould BeLyingSpaceCitiesTreeSkyFellowsCalmHungerWideHolesThis LifeStreamsFishingLengthShadeNow And ThenWearyToilBe A ManWhisperingDrearyRefreshmentsOpen SpacesWide Open Spaces Author:Edgar Guest
