That low man seeks a little thing to do,
Sees it and does it:
This high man, with a great thing to pursue,
Dies ere he knows it:
That low man goes on adding one to one,
His hundred's soon hit;
This high man, aiming at a million,
Misses an unit.
That, has the world here—should he need the next,
Let the world mind him!
This, throws himself on God, and unperplext
Seeking shall find him.
Aim at perfection is everything, though In most things it Is unattainable; however, they who aim at it, and persevere will come much nearer to it than those whose relaziness and despondency make them give it up as unattainable.
