Edgar Guest Quotes
I hold no dream of fortune vast,Nor seek undying fame.I do not ask when life is pastThat many know my name.I may not own the skill to riseTo glory's topmost height,Nor win a place among the wise,But I can keep the right.And I can live my life on earthContented to the end,If but a few shall know my worthAnd proudly call me friend.
