As a Man Thinketh
"It masters time, it conquers space;
It cows that boastful trickster, Chance,
And bids the tyrant Circumstance
Uncrown, and fill a servant’s place.

"The human Will, that force unseen,
The offspring of a deathless Soul,
Can hew a way to any goal,
Though walls of granite intervene.

Can hew a way to any goal,
Though walls of granite intervene.
"Be not impatient in delay,
But wait as one who understands;
When spirit rises and commands,
The gods are ready to obey.”
But wait as one who understands;
When spirit rises and commands,
The gods are ready to obey.”
