My Creed - quote by Howard Arnold Walter

“My Creed I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare. I would be friend of all- the foe, the friendless; I would be giving, and forget the gift. I would be humble, for I know my weakness; I would look up- and laugh- and love- and lift. ”

Howard Arnold Walter  (1883-1918);
poet

Conscience By David O. McKay

"To have the approval of your conscience when you are alone with your thoughts is like being in the company of true and loving friends. To merit your own self-respect give strength of character. Conscience is the link that binds your soul to the Spirit of God."

I do my thing

I do my thing
And you do your thing
I am not in this world to live up to
your expectations
And you are not in this world to live up to
mine
You are you and
I am I
And if by chance we find each other,
It's beautiful!
