Edgar Guest Quotes
Courage was never designed for show;It isn't a thing that can come and go;It's written in victory and defeatAnd every trial a man may meet.It's part of his hours, his days and his years,Back of his smiles and behind his tears.Courage is more than a daring deed:It's the breath of life and a strong man's creed.
