Mottoes for the Blackboard If Wisdom's ways you wisely seek, To whom you speak, of whom you speak, A birdie with a yellow bill "Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepy-head?" -R. L. Stevenson. Who says, "I will" to what is right, Is truly great and strong. -Author not known. Good morning, little rose bush, To be as sweet as a sweet red rose To be as sweet as a sweet red rose, A little girl like you Just grows, and grows, and grows, and grows, And that's what she must do. In the heart of a seed Buried deep, so deep, A dear little plant "Wake!" said the sunshine, "And creep to the light!" "Wake!" said the voice Of the raindrop bright. The little plant heard, And it rose to see Outside world might be. The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings. -R. L. Stevenson. All things bright and beautiful, -Mrs. C. F. Alexander. Let me be a sunbeam If a task is once begun Never leave it till it's done; Be the labor great or small, Do it well or not at all. -Author unknown. Politeness is to do and say, The kindest thing in the kindest way. Swift kindnesses are best; a long delay He prayeth best who loveth best All things both great and small; -Samuel Taylor Coleridge. |
