Be glad today, tomorrow may bring tears.
Be brave today, the darkest night will pass.
And golden rays will usher in the dawn.
Who conquers now shall rule the coming years.

Forget the past and live in the present hour.
Now is the time to work, the time to fill
The soul with noblest thoughts, the time to will.

Heroic deeds, to use whatever dower
Heaven has bestowed, to test our utmost power.

The victory of success is half done when one gains the habit of work.

I like the man who faces what he must,
With steps triumphant and a heart of cheer;
Who fights the daily battle without fear.
