James Whitcomb Riley Quotes
Continuous, unflagging effort, persistence, and determination will win. Let not the man be discouraged who has these.
And he shall reign a goodly king And sway his hand o'er every clime With peace writ on his signet ring, Who bides his time.
It is no use to grumble and complain; It's just as cheap and easy to rejoice; When God sorts out the weather and sends rain -- Why, rain's my choice.
To make the world a friendly place, one must show it a friendly face.
Joy runs to meet him drawing near.
One naked star has waded through
The purple shallows of the night,
And faltering as falls the dew
It drips its misty light.
As one who cons at evening o'er an album all alone,
And muses on the faces of the friends that he has known,
So I turn the leaves of Fancy, till in shadowy design
I find the smiling features of an old sweetheart of mine.
Just the wee cot--the cricket's chirr--
Love and the smiling face of her.
The ripest peach is the highest on the tree.
Continuous, unflagging effort, persistence and determination will win. Let not the man be discouraged who has these.
