One bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room
One candle ...

stagnant water loses its purity
and in cold weather becomes frozen;
even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind."

I long so much to do the things I'd never done before,
But I stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.
I said it didn't matter ...

That kills but the boredom
A lack of strong interest
And failure to grow that destroys.
It is the feeling that nothing is worthwhile
That makes men ill and unhappy."

as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging
seems all uphill;
When the funds are low,
and the debts are high;
And you want to smile,
but have to sigh;
When care is pressing
