Where My Books Go

All the words that I utter, And all the words that I write,
Must spread out their wings untiring,
And never rest in their flight,
Till they come where your sad, sad heart is,
And sing to you in the night,
Beyond where the waters are moving,
Storm-darkened or starry bright.
~ W. B. Yeats

Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it. ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox
The Tide Will Turn
142
When you get into a tight place & everything goes against you, till it seems you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place & time that the tide will turn.
