Thank you to all those people who labor and get very little recognition. This is your day! If you are working today, thank you again! All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence. If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would probably be Labor Day weekend. A hundred times every day, I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving. I\u2019m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.

\n— by Edgar Guest
\nSomebody said it couldn’t be done,
\nBut he with a chuckle replied
\nThat “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
\nWho wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
\nSo he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
\nOn his face. If he worried he hid it.
\nHe started to sing and he tackled the thing
\nThat couldn’t be done, and he did it.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAt least no one has ever done it”;
\nBut he took off his coat and he took of his hat,
\nAnd the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
\nWith a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
\nWithout any doubting or quiddit,
\nHe started to sing and he tackled the thing
\nThat couldn’t be done, and he did it.<\/p>\n
\nThere are thousands to prophesy failure;
\nThere are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
\nThe dangers that wait to assail you.
\nBut just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
\nJust take off your coat and go to it;
\nJust start to sing as you tackle the thing
\nThat “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.<\/p>\n
