  1. A Psalm of Life By: Henry Longfellow 2005-2006

  2. Tell me not in mournful numbers , life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers, and things are not what they seem.

  3. Life is real- life is earnest- and the grave is not the goal: dust thou art, to dust returnest, was not spoken of the soul.

  4. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,is your destined end or way; but to act at least tomorrow find us farther today.

  5. Art is long, and time is fleeting, and our hearts, though stout and brave, still, like muffled drums, are beating funeral marches to the grave

  6. In the worlds broad field of battle,in the bivouac of Life, be not like a dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife!

  7. Trust no future, however pleasant! Let the dead past bury its dead! Act-act in the glorious present! Heart within, and God over head!

  8. Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us footsteps on the sands of time.

  9. Let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate; still achieving, still perusing, Learn to labor and wait.
