Teach me, good Lord: > Not to murmur at the multitude of business or the shortness of time. > Not to call attention to crowded work or petty fatigues. > Not to gather encouragement from others, lest this should interfere with purity of motive. > Not to seek praise, respect, gratitude, or regard from superiors or equals on account of age or past service. > Not to let myself be placed in favorable contrast with another.
