There are two little rules which if we would observe them would work a marvelous change in most of our lives. One is, “Never be discouraged.” The other is, “Never be a discourager.” We do not dare to be discouraged, for instantly then we become a discourager, and we can never know the harm we may do the other lives by uttering our fears and doubts.
“Talk faith. The world is better off without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt.
If you have faith in God, or man, or self,
Say so. If not, push back upon the shelf
Of silence your thoughts till faith shall come:
No one will grieve because your lips are dumb.”
