Quotes by Arthur William Beer

To get he had tried,yet his store was still meager.To a wise man he cried,in a voice keen and eager;Pray tell me how I may successfully live?And the wise man replied,To get you must give.As to giving he said,What have I to give?Ive scarce enough bread,and of course one must live;But I would partake of Lifes bountifulstore. Came the wise mans response;Then you must give more.The lesson he learned;to get was forgotten,Toward mankind he turnedwith a love new begotten.As he gave of himself in useful living,Then joy crowned his days,for he grew rich in giving.
