The Ladder Of Life Has Its Splinters. As Long As We Ascend, We Climb With The Points; But Look Out, If We Start To Slip.
The Great Law Of Life Is Ascension.
And In Case You Slip, Pick Out The Splinters And Keep Climbing.
There Has Never Been A Person Up Toward The Top Without Splinter Prints.
It May Sound Trying And Painful To Climb Two Hours And Pick Splinters One Hours, But To Alternate One’s Efforts In Such Proportions Will Never See Him At The Bottom Of The Ladder.
Give Us The Heart To Climb And When We Slip To Climb Again.

I Steadier Step When I Recall That, If I Slop, Thou Dost Not Fall.
* Arthur Hugh Clough 1819-1861
+ A Bible Verse +
Hold Up My Goings In Thy Path, That My Footsteps Slip Not. * Psalms 17:5
