Thoughts are forces--like builds like and like attracts like. Thoughts
of strength both build strength from within and attract it from without.
Thoughts of weakness actualize weakness from within and attract it from
without. Courage begets strength, fear begets weakness. And so courage
begets success, fear begets failure.

Any way the old world goes
Happy be the weather!
With the red thorn or the rose
Singin' all together!
Don't you see that sky o' blue!
Good Lord painted it for you

Reap the daisies in the dew
Singin' all together!
Springtime sweet, an' frosty fall
Happy be the weather!
Earth has gardens for us all,
Goin' on together.

Sweet the labor in the light,
To the harvest's gold and white--
Till the toilers say "Good night,"
Singin' all together!
