A powerful mind does powerful act
And all the rest are imperfect.
Shun failing fuss; fail not purpose
These two are maxims of the wise.
The strong achieve and then display
Woe unto work displayed midway.
Easy it is to tell a fact
But hard it is to know and act.
Dynamic deeds of a doughty soul
Shall win the praise of king and all.
The will-to-do achieves the deed
When mind that wills is strong indeed.
Scorn not the form: for men there are
Like linchpin of big rolling car.
Waver not; do wakefully
The deed resolved purposefully.
Do with firm will though pains beset
The deed that brings delight at last.
The world merits no other strength
But strength of will-to-do at length.
POWERFUL ACTS
