Personal Notes

My son, beware of "good enough," It isn't made of sterling stuff; It's something any man can do, It marks the many from the few, It has no merit to the eye, It's something any man can buy, Its name is but a sham and bluff, For it is never "good enough."

With "good enough" the shirkers stop In every factory and shop; With "good enough" the failures rest And lose to men who give their best; With "good enough" the car breaks down And men fall short of high renown My son, remember and be wise, In "good enough" disaster lies.

With "good enough" have ships been wrecked, The forward march of armies checked Great buildings burned and fortunes lost; Nor can the world computethe cost In life and money it has paid Because at "good enough" menstayed. Who stops at "good enough" shall find Success has left him far behind

There is no "good enough" that's short Of what you can do and you ought. The flaw which may escape the eye And temporarily get by, Shall weaken underneath the strain And wreck the ship or car or train, For this is true of men and stuff-- Only the best is "good enough" --Edgar A. Guest

I live in the spirit of prayer. I pray as I walk, when I lie down, and when I rise. And the answers are always coming. Tens of thousands of times have my prayers been answered. When once I am persuaded that a thing is right, I go on praying for it. The great point is never to give up till the answer comes.

The great fault of the children of God is, they do not continue in prayer, they do not persevere. If they desire anything for God's glory, they should pray until they get it. --George Mueller

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way. The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear, Fine counsel is confusing but example's always clear;

And the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds, For to see good out in action is what everybody needs. I soon can learn how to do it if you'll let me see it done; I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run.

And the lecture you deliver may be very wise and true,but id rather get my lessons by observing what you do,For i might misunderstand you and the high advice you give,but theres no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.Edgar Guest
