Who does the best his circumstances allow
Does well, acts nobly; angels could no more.
--Edward Young.
Pedigree haz no more to do in making a man aktually grater than he
iz than a pekok's feather in his hat haz in making him aktually
taller. When the world stands in need of an arestokrat, natur
pitches one into it, and furnishes him papers without enny flaw in
them.
--Josh Billings.
Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense
of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will
of God, ye may receive the promise.
--Hebrews 10. 35, 36.
Lord God, help me to select with care the site, the plans, and the
foundation of my life. May I use the best material; and may it be
worthy of a permanent home. Amen.
