Poems for kids
Teddy.
On the floor lies tiny Teddy
Half a paw is gone already.
He is tattered, torn, and lame.
Yet I love him just the same.
Bunny.
Once a little scatter-brain
Left poor Bunny in the rain.
What could little Bunny do?
He got wet just through and through.
Once a little scatter-brain
Left poor Bunny in the rain.
What could little Bunny do?
He got wet just through and through.
The Wooden Bull Calf.
The Bull-Calf walks with shaking knees.
The funny thing’s so small
The board is ending soon, he sees.
And he’s afraid to fall.
My Horse.
How I love my little horse!
I will brush him very well, of course,
I will comb his tail and mane,
And go riding out again.
The Elephant.
Time for bed! The Calf’s asleep,
In his basket, snug and deep.
Teddy’s sleeping in his cot,
But the elephant is not.
He nods his head and looks askant
At the Lady Elephant.
The Lorry.
Now we all are very sorry:
We put Pussy in the lorry;
Pussy didn’t like the ride –
Lo! The lorry’s on its side.
The Ball
Little Tanya’s sadly sobbing,
On the waves her ball is bobbing.
Don’t cry your eyes out so:
Rubber balls don’t drown, you know.
The Aeroplane
We will build a plane and soar
Over woodland, sea and shore,
Over woodland, sea and shore,
And fly back to Mum once more.
My Billy Goat
With my goat, so small and funny,
I go walking every day.
In our garden, green and sunny,
I and Billy love to play.
Should my little Billy stray,
I will find him straightaway.
On the floor lies tiny Teddy
Half a paw is gone already.
He is tattered, torn, and lame.
Yet I love him just the same.

Christopher Morley

Aristotle Onassis

Owen Feltham
Failures do what is tension relieving, while winners do what is goal achieving.
Dennis Waitley
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.

I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure--which is:
Try to please everybody.
Herbert Bayard Swope
Success does not consist in never making blunders, but in never making the same one a second time.
Josh Billings
The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.
Earl of Beaconsfield
Success is the good fortune that comes from aspiration, desperation, perspiration and inspiration.
Evan Esar

If you wish success in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius.

Henry W. Longfellow
To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first.
Shakespeare
Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.
Albert Einstein
The man who makes a success of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can't be done.
C. V. White
And one quote just for fun.....
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it.
