My Wage
I bargained with Life for a Penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer,
He give you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.
--J.B. Rittenhouse
There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.
Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought
-- Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
