Edgar Guest Quotes

• You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or toss it aside; You are the person who makes up your mind. Whether you'll lead or will linger behind. Whether you'll try for the goal that's afar. Or just be contented to stay where you are.

• The lectures you deliver
  may be wise and true,
  But I'd rather get my lessons
  by observing what you do.
  I may not understand
  the high advise you like to give,
  But there's no misunderstanding
  how you act and how you live.

• The man who wants a garden fair, or small or very big, With flowers growing here and there, Must bend his back and dig. The things are mighty few on earth That wishes can attain.

• Si tu monedero ya no abulta
  y has perdido tu tesoro de oro,
  Si a veces piensas que estás solo
  y has crecido hambriento de placer,
  no te sientes junto a tu hogar y refunfuñes,
  no dejes que la mente y el espíritu se endurezcan.
  Si lo que deseas son emociones de alegría
  ponte manos a la obra y planta un jardín
  
  Si es drama lo que suspiras
  planta un jardín y lo tendrás
  Conocerá la emoción de la batalla
  luchando contra los enemigos que lo acosarán
  Si anhelas entretenimiento y
  para la pompa más resplandeciente
  planta un jardín y este verano pasa
  tu tiempo con las cosas verdes que crecen.

• The Making of Friends Life is sweet because of the friends we have made And the things which in common we share; We want to live on, not because of ourselves, But because of the ones who would care. It's living and doing for somebody else On that all of life's splendor depends, And the joy of it all, when we count it all up, Is found in the making of friends.
