Walk softly, boy and always carry <br />a stick to chase your foes away <br />go get the girl you want to marry <br />and build that house on Horseshoe Bay. <br /> <br />It is not money or connections <br />that would secure a place for all <br />what matters is in which direction <br />you kick and follow your own ball. <br /> <br />Stand firm and be prepared to fight <br />don't compromise and don't deceive <br />and raise your stick when you are right <br />while others webs for devils weave.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/and-carry-a-big-stick/
