Hold on to what is good
even if it is a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe in
even if it is a tree which stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do
even if it is a long way from here...

Hold on to my hand
even when I have gone far away from you.

Go Forward With Courage

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still;
be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists
-- as it surely will.
Then act with courage.

-Ponca Chief White Eagle (1800's to 1914)

getting out of one's self, but the point is
not only to get out; you must stay out;
and to stay out you must have some
absorbing errand.
