He who writes his name upon the waters of ambition shall see it disappear before it be written, he who carves a record upon marble shafts, hands down a perishable monument to posterity, he who leaves a legacy only in letters is enrolled among the poets whose works are often lost or forgotteng he who delves into the unknown realms of scientific research may save a life or blot out a world with a yet undiscovered explosive, but he who stamps himself upon the hearts of men by love and service, builds for himself a monument that shall stand after the pyramids have bowed their heads beneath the sands of the East. and rivers have lost themselves in the seas of forgetfulness. Service to humanity will live on after material things are no more. Face the East and the dew-pearled dawn with the supreme optimist Browning One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, Sleep to wake. No! At noonday, in the bustle of man's worktime, Greet the unseenswith a cheer! Bid him forward, breast and back as either should be, Strive and thrive! Cry, Speed - fight on, fare ever There as here!
