Ther n is no werkman whatever he be, — Work

"Ah vitam perdidi operse nihil agendo."

"The Lord had a job for me, but I had so much to do, I said, "You get somebody else—or wait till I get through." I dont know how the Lord came out, but He seemed to get along: But I felt kinda sneakin like, cause I knowd I done Him wrong. One day I needed the Lord—needed Him myself—needed Him right away, And He never answered me at all, but I could hear Him say Down in my accusin heart, "Nigger, Ise got too much to do, You get somebody else or wait till I get through."

"A warke it ys as easie to be done As tys to saye Jacke! robys on."

"The dog that trots about finds a bone."

"The best verse hasnt been rhymed yet, The best house hasnt been planned, The highest peak hasnt been climbed yet, The mightiest rivers arent spanned; Dont worry and fret, faint-hearted, The chances have just begun For the best jobs havent been started, The best work hasnt been done."

"Qui orat et laborat, cor levat ad Deum cum manibus."
