The best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds.

Edgar Guest

To have no secret place wherein
I stoop unseen to shame or sin;
To be the same when I'm alone
As when my every deed is known;
To live undaunted, unafraid
Of any step that I have made;
To be without pretense or sham
Exactly what men think I am.

Edgar Guest

I hold no dream of fortune vast,
Nor seek undying fame.
I do not ask when life is past
That many know my name. I may not own the skill to rise
To glory's topmost height,
Nor win a place among the wise,
But I can keep the right. And I can live my life on earth
Contented to the end,
If but a few shall know my worth
And proudly call me friend.

Edgar Guest

Life is a gift that the humblest may boast of
And one that the humblest may well make the most of.
Get out and live it each hour of the day,
Wear it and use it as much as you may;
Don't keep it in niches and corners and grooves,
You'll find that in service its beauty improves.

Edgar Guest

Lord, this humble house we'd keep Sweet with play and calm with sleep. Help us so that we may give Beauty to the lives we live. Let Thy love and let Thy grace Shine upon our dwelling place.
