Classic Poem

Act first; then tell of Mountains cleft asunder;
The Lightning strikes before we hear the Thunder.

Mischance will come to all; but, Swim or Sink,
The Wise Man never says, “I did not think.”

M EN buy Success by giving up a Host
Of Things they Want for what they Want the Most.

T HEY that win at last, though often thrown,
For their Failures blame themselves alone.

T O conquer Odds demands a Hero's Will;
An Unbaked Codfish Ball can Charge Down-hill.
