ON FILE


If an unkind word appears,
File the thing away.
If some novelty it jeers,
File the thing away.
If some clever little bit
Of a sharp and pointed wit,
Carrying a sting with it -
File the thing away.

If some bit of gossip come,
File the thing away.
Scandalously spicy crumb,
File the thing away.
If suspicion comes to you
That your neighbor isn't true
Let me tell you what to do -
File the thing away.

Do this for a little while -
Then go out and burn the file.


John Kendrick Bangs

The Most Vital Thing


When you feel like saying something
That you know you will regret,
Or keenly feel an insult
Not quiet easy to forget,
That's the time to curb resentment
And maintain a mental peace,
For when your mind is tranquil
All your ill-thoughts simply cease.

It is easy to be angry
When defrauded or defied,
To be peeved and disappointed
If you wishes are denied;
But to win a worthwhile battle
Over selfishness and spite,
You must learn to keep strict silence
Though you know you are in the right.

So keep your mental balance
When confronted by a foe,
Be it enemy in ambush
Or some danger that you know.
If you are poised and tranquil
When all around is strife,
Be assured that you have mastered
The most vital thing in life.

It's a source of great sadness to me that my father died without having seen me do anything worthwhile. He was constantly having to make excuses for me. - Daniel Day-Lewis
