Forget and Remember
Source unknown
- Forget each kindness that you do as soon as you have done it.
- Forget the praise that falls to you the moment you have won it.
- Forget the slander that you hear before you can repeat it.
- Forget each slight, each spite, each sneer, whenever you may meet.
- Remember every promise made and keep it to the letter.
- Remember those who lend you aid and be a grateful debtor.
- Remember all the happiness that comes your way in living.
- Forget each worry and distress; be hopeful and forgiving.
- Remember good, remember truth,
- Remember heaven is above you.
- Forget the praise that falls to you the moment you have won it.
And you will find, through age and youth, that many will love you.
