Some men want ideal conditions with pay in advance before they will
work. But the world does not want such men, and has little place for
them.
Don't prate about what is your right,
But bare your fists and show your might;
Life is another man to fight
Catch as catch can.
Don't talk of Life as scurvy Fate,
Who gave you favors just too late,
Or Luck who threw you smiles for bait
Before he ran.
Don't whine and wish that you were dead,
But wrestle for your daily bread,
And afterward let it be said
"He was a man."
_Jane M'Lean._
