Podcast Manuscript: I believe in the cheery whistle of the bobwhite. I believe in smiles, even though the heart is heavy; in lending a hand; in stopping in the shade of a tree on the road of life; to chat a while with some neighbors; in saying kind things before it is too late; in keeping my eyes on the stars though I walk in the mud.
I believe that nothing can hurt me save only as I allow it; that each failure brings me nearer the ultimate success; that should I ever reach the topmost rung of the ladder, I should make way for others, stooping to help them up beside me.
