Don't let yourself drown in the SEA OF LIFE!
The quote above is believed to be part of the original "Optimist Creed" from the Optimist Club. Optimist International adopted this creed in 1922. It was originally published in 1912 in a book titled: "Your Forces and How to Use Them". The author was Christian D. Larson, a prolific writer and lecturer.
