So Long As I Can Laugh, Never

I Will Become A Firefly And Even In The Day My Glow Will Be Seen In Spite Of The Sun. Let Others Be As Butterflies Who Preen Their Wings Yet Depend On The Charity Of A Flower For Life.

If Our Lives Are Truly Plans Of God, Someone Had Better Call A Meeting Soon To Remind Us, Once More, What Great Miracles We Really Are.

Never Has There Been A Map, However Carefully Executed To Detail And Scale, Which Has Carried Its Owner Over Even One Inch Of Ground. Never Has There Been A Parchment Of Law, However Fair, Which Prevented One Crime. Never Has There Been A Scroll, Even Such As The One I Hold, Which So Much As A Penny Or Produced A Single Word Of Acclamation. Action, Alone, Is The Tinder Which Ignites The Map, The Parchment, This Scroll, My Plans, My Goals, Into A Living Force. Action Is The Food And Drink Which Will Nourish My Success. I Will Act Now.

The Only Certain Means Of Success Is To Render More And Better Service Than Is Expected Of You, No Matter What The Task May Be. This Is A Habit Followed By All Successful People Since The Beginning Of Time. Therefore I Saith The Surest Way To Doom Yourself To Mediocrity Is To Perform Only The Work For Which You Are Paid.

Laugh And Your Life Will Be Lengthened For This Is The Great Secret Of Long Life.
