Its reward is in the doing, And the rapture of pursuing Is the prize - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Let us, then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labour and to wait.

Standing, with reluctant feet,
Where the brook and river meet,
Womanhood and childhood fleet!

"Write on your doors the saying wise and old,
"Be bold! be bold!" and everywhere — "Be bold;
Be not too bold!" Yet better the excess
Than the defect; better the more than less;
Better like Hector in the field to die,
Than like a perfumed Paris turn and fly,"
