"Do What is Right; Let the Consequence Follow"

 


Do what is right; the day-dawn is breaking,
Hailing a future of freedom and light.
Angels above us are silent notes taking
Of ev'ry action; then do what is right!

(Chorus)
Do what is right; let the consequence follow.
Battle for freedom in spirit and might;
And with stout hearts look ye forth till tomorrow.
God will protect you; then do what is right!
 
Do what is right; the shackles are falling.
Chains of the bondsmen no longer are bright;
Lightened by hope, soon they'll cease to be galling.
Truth goeth onward; then do what is right!

(Chorus)

Do what is right; be faithful and fearless.
Onward, press onward, the goal is in sight.
Eyes that are wet now, ere long will be tearless.
Blessings await you in doing what's right!

(Chorus)

That Which is of God

But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually, wherefore, everything which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God.

For behold, my brethren, it is given unto you to judge, that ye may know good from evil and the way to judge is as plain, that ye may know with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night.

For behold the Spirit of Christ is given to every man that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.

Moroni 7:13, 15, 16

Infinity


The thirst for infinity, proves infinity
-V. Hugo

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.
-W. Blake

We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually produce the works of Shakespeare. Now thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.
-R. Wilensky


 
Who was it that said, 'I hold the buying of more books than one can peradventure read, as nothing less than the soul's reaching towards infinity; which is the only thing that raises us above the beasts that perish?' Whoever it was, I agree with him.
-A. Edward Newton

You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.
-D. Chopra

Falsehood has an infinity of combinations, but truth has only one mode of being.
-J.J. Rousseau

Pathways

 


A single footstep will not make a path on earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. 

To make a deep physical path we walk again and again. 

To make a deep mental path we must think over and over the kinds of thoughts that we wish to dominate our lives.

-H.D. Thoreau


Remember No More


Bury your weapons of war
Remember them no more
Remember just enough
Don’t reminisce too much

Dismiss the destructive
It can only destroy
Look towards the future
There’s much to enjoy

Each wonderful day is new
And full of beauty too
The future holds the key
To your own reality

So bury the things that hurt
Cover them over with dirt
Expose the glorious day
As you gladly go on your way
