Do you wish the World were better?
Let me tell you what to do;
Set a watch upon your actions,
Keep them always straight and true.<\/p>\n
Rid your mind of selfish motives,
Let your thoughts be clean and high.
You can make a little Eden
Of the sphere you occupy.<\/p>\n
Do you wish the World were wiser?
Then suppose you make a start,
By accumulating wisdom
In the scrapbook of your heart.<\/p>\n
Do not waste one page on folly;
Live to learn and learn to live.
If you want to give men knowledge
You must get it ere you give.<\/p>\n
Do you wish the World were happy?
Then remember day by day,
Just to scatter seeds of kindness,
As you pass along the way.<\/p>\n
For the pleasures of the many,
May be oft times traced to one.
As the hand that plants the acorn,
Shelters armies from the sun.<\/p>\n
