The Best Is Yet to Be.

For all men, small as well as great,
even for those who have succeeded,
and conquered apparently all h0nors,
it is true that the best Is vet to be.
Heroic Paul. earth's most intrepid and
earti's sublimest spirit, standing forth
in old age, with a thousand victories
behind him. knew that he had not yet
attained. No matter what your sue
cess. / appeal from the seed to the
coming sheaf, from the acorn to the
coming oak. from this little spring to
the future river. from your ignorance
to wisdom, from your fragmentary
tool or custom to perfect virtue, from
the broken are to the full circuit, from
the white cloud to the stars that are
above the clouds. Because life is in a
series Of ascending climaxes, and
because 1t wakes ever richer. for every
man. whether young or old, it is better
farther on, and the best is yet to be.
