Quotes about: Soul

• Courage must come from the soul within; the man must furnish the will to win. So figure it out for yourself, my lad. You were born with all that the great have had.

  Edgar Albert Guest, “Figure It Out”

• The things that haven't been done before, Are the tasks worthwhile today; Are you one of the flock that follows, or Are you one that shall lead the way? Are you one of the timid souls that quail At the jeers of a doubting crew, Or dare you, whether you win or fail, Strike out for a goal that's new?

  Edgar Albert Guest, “Things That Haven't Been Done Before”

• Give me the end of the year an' its fun
  When most of the plannin' an' toilin' is done;
  Bring all the wanderers home to the nest,
  Let me sit down with the ones I love best,
  Hear the old voices still ringin' with song,
  See the old faces unblemished by wrong,
  See the old table with all of its chairs
  An' I'll put soul in my Thanksgivin' prayers.

  Edgar Albert Guest, “Thanksgiving”

• The happy man is he who turns his soul Unto the light of joys that he can find; And pays each day its just demand of toll, But shuts the future troubles from his mind.

  Happiness, Men, Light

• 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.
