TWO ways to Do Things

< There are two ways to do things. One is to go right into action on the first impulse without sitting down, to consider the probable re- suits, and the other is to go into action after you have taken time to mature your plans in the clear light of. their probable results af- ter being placed in operation. Those whose success is more marked are in the second class.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY

I have been trying hard to please,
 To keep from causing any pain; If am called piece of cheese
 I don't act ugly or complain, e Old fossils bore me every day
 By preaching ancient, silly stuff, But continue on my way, For why object to what they say,
 Or treat lem rough? They praise things I, in secrets >scorn They scoff at things I think are fine Some proud fool always toots his horn When have cause for footing mine I have to listen when I wish .,- To boast about the things I've done, But l am one of those poor fish That keeps from growing feyerish
 For faith or fun. I'm always willing to agree
 With Jim or Joe or Tom or Dick;,a What of it if it seems to me
 That they have narrow minds or thick;
 don't care what they think they think . Concerning politics or sins, And if I talked till I got pink No word of mine would ever sink & Beneath their skins. I try to please by nodding when
 have to listen to a bore; Why waste wise words on foolish men Who think they know it all, and
 more?
 In silence pursue my way,
 Believing I am always right; I don't dispute what others say, Or, if I do, it's after they
 Are out of sight.
