Show 4 . JUST FOLKS i Ily EDGAR A. GUEST. I v SELF-DUNIAL. To gratify a whim is fine. It's fun to loaf along the way, It's nice to get the lktlo things which make for comfort day by day; To live in luxury Is what wo all desire- beyond a doubt But, after all, success is won by what we'll bravely do without. i Nobody ever got to fame by treading only citsy ways. I And none by shirking bitter tasks has ever won a wbrd of praise; For every lofly goal we seok. each one of us nuiMt pay the price, There is no victory worth while but what is born of Bacrlflco. Who scorns to do the ham work now, will have to do it later on, No fortune shall we ever build on money that ls spent and gone; And though we dream of greater Joys that we shall claim alng the way. They will not come to vju unless some Joya we do without today, Ve'll never come to wealth or fame upon the whims we gratify. In comfort and the luxuries tho greater great-er glories do not He; For victory there Is a price which ervery man ls akd to pay, l,o would have much tomorrow here must do Without as much today. ' |
