Thou must be true thyself, <br /> If thou the truth wouldst teach; <br />Thy soul must overflow, if thou <br /> Another's soul would'st reach! <br />It needs the overflow of heart <br /> To give the lips full speech. <br /> <br />Think truly, and thy thoughts <br /> Shall the world's famine feed; <br />Speak truly, and each word of thine <br /> Shall be a fruitful seed; <br />Live truly, and thy life shall be <br /> A great and noble creed.<br /><br />Horatius Bonar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-true/
